I hear the click-clack of your feet on the stairs,

I know you’re no scare-eyed honey.  

There’ll be a feast if you just come upstairs, but

Its no hanging matter,

It’s no capital crime.

Yes I can see that you’re 15 years old  

No I don’t want your i.d.     

Yes I can see that you’re so far from home, but

Its no hanging matter,

Its no capital crime.

1st Chorus

Oh yeah, you’re a strange stray cat

Oh yeah, don’tcha scratch like that

Oh yeah, you’re a strange stray cat,

I bet your mama don’t know ya scream like that

I bet your mama don’t know you can bite like that

You’ve got a friend, you say she’s wilder than you

Why don’t you bring her upstairs?

If she’s so wild then she can join in, too–

It’s no hangin’ matter,

It ain’t no capital crime

Oh yeah, you’re a strange stray cat

Oh yeah, don’tcha scratch like that

Oh yeah, you’re a strange stray cat,

I bet your mama don’t know ya scream like that

I bet your mama don’t know you can bite like that

You’re alone so far from home,

But you don’t really miss your mother

I’ve been so many times all all alone

But it ain’t no hangin’ matter

It ain’t no capital crime

last chorus

Oh yeah, you’re a strange stray cat

Oh yeah, don’tcha scratch like that

Oh yeah, you’re a strange stray cat,

I bet your mama don’t know you can bite like that

I’ll bet she never saw you scratch my back
