Black and orange stray cat sittin' on a fence
Ain't got enough dough to pay the rent
I'm flat broke but I don't care
I strut right by with my tail in the air

Stray cat strut, I'm a ladies' cat
I'm a feline Casanova, hey, man, that's that
Get a shoe thrown at me from a mean old man
Get my dinner from a garbage can

Meow, yeah, don't cross my path

I don't bother chasin' mice around
I slink down the alley, lookin' for a fight
Howlin' to the moonlight on a hot summer night

Singin' the blues while the lady-cats cry
Wow, stray cat, you're a real gone guy
I wish I could be as carefree and wild
But I got cat class and I got cat style
