Lyrics

Cats down under the stars
Cats down under the stars
Cats on the blacktop, birdie in the treetop
Someone plays guitar that sounds like clarinet
I ain't ready yet to go to bed
I think I'll take a walk downtown instead
Cats down under the stars
Cats down under the stars
Cats on the bandstand, give 'em each a big hand
Anyone who sweats like that must be all right
No one wants a fight, no black eye
Just another cat beneath the stars tonight
Cats down under the stars
Cats down under the stars
Cats in the limelight, feels like it's alright
Everybody wants something they might not get
I ain't ready yet, it ain't complete
That's why I am headin' down to Alleycat Street
Cats down under the stars
Cats down under the stars
Satin blouse unbuttoning (La-la-la, la-la-la)
Satin blouse unbuttoning (La-la-la, la-la-la)
Time is a stripper, doin' it just for you
Time is a stripper, doin' it just for you (Just for you)
(Just for you)
(Just for you)
(Just for you)
(Just for you)
Knock in the brass tacks, cover up your tracks Jack
You ain't nowhere 'til you can pay your own way back
What else do you lack to make it right?
But cats down under the stars tonight
Cats down under the stars
Cats down under the stars
Cats down under the stars
