The Cat Lyrics

(Peter Criss, Mark Montague, Kirk Miller, Mike Stone)

[Verse]
I was born a long time ago
Way down in the ghetto
I used a life in '68
Had a gun to my head
And now there's 8
But you know that I
Don't really give a damn

'Cause I got 7 more lives to spare (yeah)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Chorus]
The cat's got nine lives, he do
The cat's got nine lives, he do
Oh-oooh, he do

[Verse]
I got real wild in '78
I didn't know if I'd
Make the gates
I met a witch in San Antone
I pulled my knife to her head and
She left me alone
So now I've got to
Count my lives day by day
But it really don't matter to me
I got six anyway
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Chorus] X2

[Solo]

(Oh, yeah)

(Oh, look out now)

Mary, Mary, quite contrary
How does your garden grow baby
With silver bells
And cockle shells
And who knows what else (huh)
Enine-menie-miney-mo
Catch Mark by the toe
Listen to this one now
Gene and Paul went up the hill
To fetch a pail of water
Gene fell down and broke his crown
And Paul came tumbling over (yeah)
(oh, yeah, oh yeah)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Chorus] X2
I mean one, two, three...
The cat's got nine lives, he do
He do, he do, he do
One more time
He do, he do, he do
I love it
