This cat's on a hot tin roof

Drinkin' that whiskey, 96 proof

Don't need no doctor, don't feel no pain

My legs are just two steps ahead of my brain



This cat's on a hot tin roof

This cat's gonna shake it loose

This cat don't get the blues

'Cause this cat's shakin' on a hot tin roof



This cat's been out on the town

I'm the cat's meow, I'm the king with a crown

My head is spinnin' and I got the shakes

I can't stop now 'cause I got no brakes



This cat's on a hot tin roof

This cat's gonna shake it loose

This cat don't get the blues

'Cause this cat's shakin' on a hot tin roof



There ain't no point in holdin' me down

I'll kick and I'll scratch and I'll howl

Hey hound dog, get outta my way

'Cause this cat is on the prowl



This cat's on a hot tin roof

Jumpin' up and down like a long neck goose

Shimmy and shake, baby you can't fail

Rockin' so hard that it's off the scale



This cat's on a hot tin roof

This cat's gonna shake it loose

This cat don't get the blues

'Cause this cat's shakin' on a hot tin roof
