Have you seen the alley cats?
Looking sharp in their bowler hats
Never seen a cool cat looking like that
Everyone get out the way
Sleep in the day, prowl in the night
Yes this band is pretty tight
Chasing all the city rats
Look out! Here come the alley cats
Last night under a dim street lamp
Humphrey cracked a deal with Pam
He said i like you, so i might
Love you till the morning light
All the felines of the neighbourhood
Gather around like they should
When the sun goes down, they roam the town
No one cares if you're black or brown
While every one of them home cats
Is sitting around becoming a fats
The alley cats are hungry and lean
Fight to survive - you know what i mean
Have you seen the alley cats?
Looking sharp in their bowler hats
Never seen a cool cat looking like that
Everyone get out the way
Sleep in the day, prowl in the night
Yes this band is pretty tight
Chasing all the city rats
Look out! Here come the alley cats
Little Joe looks up to Macavity
Who teaches him to defy gravity
"I'll be like you one day, i wish"
He says to him while stealing fish
Last night beside the garbage can
The old card players made a plan
6am is when she'll come
The fisher lady with the big fat bum
We're gonna be there, we're gonna be square
We'll pull this off with our nose in the air
Are you with me lads? Jesus christ!
Just say the word and we pull the heist
Have you seen the alley cats?
Looking sharp in their bowler hats
Never seen a cool cat looking like that
Everyone get out the way
Sleep in the day, prowl in the night
Yes this band is pretty tight
Chasing all the city rats
Look out! Here come the alley cats
Jimmy had that look of love
That gave those kittens a real heart tug
He pawed at no one in particular
His heart it lay with Bette Midler
Every Sunday from dawn to moon
He sat in Liberty oh sigh oh swoon
Oh no he wouldn't touch a silly rat
Yes sir, he's an alley cat
So listen up all you pet house cats
Margerie, Stewart and Cumberbach -
You be warned and be warned good
Them there cats are in your hood
Have you seen the alley cats?
Looking sharp in their bowler hats
Never seen a cool cat looking like that
Everyone get out the way
Sleep in the day, prowl in the night
Yes this band is pretty tight
They're the kings and they're the brats
Look out! Here come the alley cats
