You may find me, baby

Yeah, this street

With my slippery fists

Knock it like this n

Knock it like that

With my heart in a cage

Tucked up under my hat

Fluttering like a little black bird, yeh

Just seen his furs, pussycat



Got my umbrella up in front, yeah

And over my head

Ready to beat you, baby,

If you don't let me in

Cuz its raining

Cuz its raining,

Baby outside



Well I'm tired and cold and hungry

Been knocked like this an

Knocked like that

Dont see that bad backyard

Alley cat

I want dis little pussy

Baby wants some o dis

And some o dat

Dont treat me, baby, like your

Any old Alley Cat

Alley Cat

Alley Cat

Alley Cat

Dont treat me, baby, like your

Any old Alley Cat
