She threw back that shiny hair
 Like the mane on a Delta queen
 Gonna spend my last dime on a telephone call
 'Cause she's the wildest thing I've ever seen
 She was just plain mister once
 Got herself fixed up real good
 Just a little boy lost in the land of the free
 wiggle and a walk away from womanhood

 Now they call her the cat
 And that's a stone fact
 They took a little of this
 She got a little of that
 Now Billy got a kitty
 He got something to scratch
 So they call her, yeah they call her the cat

 She just does that double act
 She got Babs and Joan down pat
 She got hips like Mick, she's a Rolling Stone
 Never seen a woman shake like that

 She was just plain mister once
 Got herself fixed up real good
 Just a little boy lost in the land of the free
 wiggle and a walk away from womanhood

 Now they call her the cat
 And that's a stone fact
 They took a little of this
 She got a little of that
 Now Billy got a kitty
 He got something to scratch
 So they call her, yeah they call her the cat

 She's so fine that the water line
 Don't separate hot and cold
 She got stitched up [bad word] by an old M.D.
 Now she's headed out to Hollywood or so I'm told

 Now they call her the cat
 And that's a stone fact
 They took a little of this
 She got a little of that
 Now Billy got a kitty
 He got something to scratch
 So they call her, yeah they call her the cat

 And that's a stone fact
 They took a little of this
 She got a little of that
 Now Billy got a kitty
 He got something to scratch
 So they call her, yeah they call her the cat
