Oh yeah, you're a strange stray cat
It's no capital crime
I bet you mama don't know you can bite like that
You don't look so scared, I'm no mad-brained bear
You look so weird and you're so far from home
I can see that you're fifteen years old
Why don't you bring her upstairs
I bet your mama don't know that you scratch like that
I bet your mother don't know you can spit like that
I can see that you're so far from home
Bet your mama don't know you scream like that
It's no capital crime, oh yeah
Oh yeah, don'tcha scratch like that
No I don't want your I.D.
But it's no hanging matter
But it's no hanging matter
It's no hanging matter
If she's so wild then she can join in too
Oh yeah, you're a strange stray cat
It's no capital crime
Oh yeah, you're a strange stray cat
There'll be a feast if you just come upstairs
Oh yeah, you're a strange stray cat
Oh yeah, don'tcha scratch like that
But you don't really miss your mother
I bet she don't know you can bite like that
But it's no hanging matter
It's no capital crime
You say, you got a friend, that she's wilder than you
