"Stray Cat Blues" by The Rolling Stones
Composers: Mick Jagger and Keith Richards
Lyrics:
Yeah, got some tail.
I hear the click-clack of your feet on the stairs
I know you’re no scare-eyed honey
There’ll be a feast if you just come up stairs
But it’s no hanging matter
It’s no capital crime
I can see that you’re fifteen years old
No, I don’t want your ID
I can see that you’re so far from home
But that’s no hanging matter
It’s no capital crime
Oh yeah
You’re a strange stray cat
Oh yeah
Don’t ya scratch like that
Oh yeah
You’re a strange cat
I bet, bet your mama don’t know you scream like that
I bet your mother don’t know you can spit like that
You look so weird and you’re so far from home
But you don’t really miss your mother
Don’t look so scared, I’m not no mad brained bear
But it’s no hanging matter
It’s no capital crime
Oh yeah
Woo!
I bet your mama don’t know that you scratch like that
I bet she don’t know you can bite like that
You say got a friend, that she’s wilder than you
Why don’t you bring her upstairs
If she’s so wild then she can join in too
It’s no hanging matter
It’s no capital crime
Oh yeah
You’re a strange stray cat
Oh yeah
Don’t ya scratch like that
Oh yeah
You’re a strange stray cat
I bet you mama don’t know you can bite like that
I’ll bet she never saw you scratch my back

I can see that you’re 15 years old
No I don’t want your ID
And I can see that you’re so far from home
But that’s no hanging matter
It’s no capital crime
I bet your mama don’t know you scream like that
I bet your mother don’t know you do spit like that
