Lyrics

Cats down under the stars

Cats on the blacktop, birdie in the treetop

Someone plays guitar that sounds like a clarinet

I ain't ready yet to go to bed

Think I'll take a walk downtown instead

Cats down under the stars

Cats on the bandstand, give 'em each a big hand

Anyone who sweats like that must be alright

No one wants to fight, no black eye

Just another cat beneath the stars tonight

Cats down under the stars

Cats in the limelight, feels like it's alright

Everybody wants something they might not get

I ain't ready yet, it ain't complete

That's why I am headin' down to Alleycat Street

Cats down under the stars

Satin blouse unbuttoning (la-la-la, la-la-la)

Time is a stripper, doin' it just for you

Time is a stripper, doin' it just for you (just for you)

Just for you

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

Knock in the brass tacks, cover up your tracks, Jack

You ain't nowhere 'til you can pay your own way back

What else do you lack to make it right

But cats down under the stars tonight?

Cats down under the stars
