Well I don't know where [bad word] from, but they sure [bad word] 
I hope [bad word] for me
And I don't know how they do it, but they do it good
I hope they do it for free

They give me cat scratch fever
Cat scratch fever

First time that I got it I was thirteen years old!
Gotta it from some kitty next door
And I went to see the doctor and he gave me the cure
Now I think I gotta it some more

Cat scratch fever
Back scratch fever
Cat scratch fever
Cat scratch fever

I'm not in danger, I'm not in pain, I'm moving like a train
You know you got it 'cause it makes you insane
It makes you want to do it, do it, wasting my brain

Well I make that [bad word] purr with a stroke of my hand
They know their gettin it from me
They know just where [bad word] to find a sensitive man
They know their gettin it for free

Cat scratch fever
Back scratch fever
