I hear the clickclack of your feet on the stairs
Ah, heh, heh, yeah, god's own tears
I know you're no scareeyed honey
There'll be a feast if you just come upstairs
But it's no hanging matter
It's no capital crime
I can see that you just fifteen years old
No, I don't want your I.D.
I can see that you're so far from home
But it's no hanging matter
It's no capital crime
Oh yeah, you're strange Stray Cat
Oh yeah, don't scratch like that
Oh yeah, you're a strange Stray Cat, I bed
Bet your Mama don't know
you scream like that
I bet your mama don't know that you spit like that
You look so weird, restless and
so far from home
But you really miss your mother
Don't look so scared I'm not madbrained bear but
But it's no henging matter
It's no capital crime, oh, no, oh,
Oh yeah you're a strange Stray Cat
Oh yeah, don't scream like that
Bet your Mama don't know you scratch like that
Bet she don't know you can bite like that
You say you got a friend, she's wilder than you
Well, why don't you bring her upstairs?
If she'so wild, then she can join in too
But it's no hanging matter
It's no capital crime
Oh yeah, ooh, you're a strange Stray Cat
Oh yeah, don't scratch like that
Oh yeah, you're a strange Stray Cat
Bet your Mama
don't know you can bite like that
I bet she never saw you scratch my back.
