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