Well, rocking Robin said "Oh mama please,

I'm begging you down on bended knees

I wanna go down, wanna jump and shout

Down on the corner where the cats hang out

Down on the corner where the cats hang out."



Her mama said "Rockin, you're making me cry,

But a robin's gotta rock, and a bird's gotta fly

but before you go jumping, go out rocking tonight

It's time that I tell you a few facts of life

It's time that I tell you a few facts of life



"Cats will be cats, and cats will be cruel

Cats can be callous, and cats can be cool

Cats will be cats, remember these words

Cats will be cats, and cats eat birds

Cats will be cats, and cats eat birds



"So Robin, get wise, use good sense,

And better brush up on your self defense

It's a jungle out there, and hunger strikes deep

Better take care, better watch where you sleep

Better take care, better watch where you sleep."



Well, rocking Robin said "Oh mama please,

I'm begging you down on bended knees

I wanna go down, wanna jump and shout

Down on the corner where the cats hang out

Down on the corner where the cats hang out
