Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Catlong sighs, holdin' Kitty's black tooth
She left to marry some top cat, ain't it the cold truth?
And there hasn't been a tally since Sally left the alley
Since Kitty left with Big Pretty, things have got pretty thin, yeah, yeah
It's tight on this fence since them young dudes are musclin' in
[Verse 2]
Well, Jack Knife cries 'cause Baby's in a bundle
She goes runnin' nightly, lightly through the jungle
And them tin cans are explodin' out of the 90-degree heat
Cat somehow lost his baby down on Bleecker Street
It's sad, but it sure is true
Cat shrugs his shoulders, sits back and sighs
Ooh, what can I do? Ooh, what can I do?
Ooh, what can I do? Ooh, what can I do?
[Verse 3]
Catlong lies back-bend on a trash can
Flashin' lights cut the night, dude in the white says he's the man
Well, you better learn to move fast when you're young, or you're not long around
Cat somehow lost his Kitty down in the city pound
So get right, get tight, get down
[Verse 4]
Well, who's that down at the end of the alley?
She's been gone so long
Here she comes, here she comes
Here she comes, here she comes
Here she comes, here she comes
Here she comes, here she comes
[Chorus]
Kitty's back in town (Here she comes now)
Kitty's back in town (Ooh, oh, alright)
Kitty's back in town (Here she comes now)
Kitty's back in town (Ooh, oh, alright)
Kitty's back in town (Here she comes now)
Ooh, Kitty's back in town (Ooh, oh, alright)
Kitty's back in town (Here she comes now)
Kitty's back in town (Ooh, oh, alright)
[Verse 5]
Cat knows this Kitty's been untrue
And that she left him for a city dude
Well, she's so soft, she's so blue
When he looks into her eyes
They sit back and sigh
Ooh, what can I do? Ooh, what can I do?
Ooh, what can I do? Ooh, what can I do?
Oh, oh, oh, oh, alright
[Outro]
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, alright, oh, alright
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, alright, oh, alright
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, alright, oh, alright
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, alright, oh, alright
[Outro]
Oh-oh-oh-oh, alright, oh, alright
Oh-oh-oh-oh, alright, oh, alright
Oh-oh-oh-oh, alright, oh, alright
Oh-oh-oh-oh, alright, oh, alright
Oh-oh-oh-oh, alright, oh, alright
Oh-oh-oh-oh, alright, oh, alright
