[Intro] Ah... hey Yeah, got some tail [Verse 1] 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 upstairs, but It's no hanging matter It's no capital crime [Verse 2] I can see that you're fifteen years old No, I don't want your I.D And I can see that you're so far from home but That's no hanging matter It's no capital crime [Chorus] Oh yeah, you're a strange stray cat Oh yeah, don't you scratch like that Oh yeah, you're a strange stray cat I bet, bet your mama don't know you scream like that I bet your mother don't know you do spit like that [Verse 3] You look so weird, and you're so far from home But you don't really miss your mother You look so scared, I'm not no mad-brained bear But, but it's no hanging matter It's no capital crime [Chorus] 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 [Verse 4] You say you got a friend, and 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 [Chorus] Oh yeah, you're a strange stray cat Oh yeah, don't you scratch like that Oh yeah, you're a strange stray cat I bet your mama don't know you can bite like that I'll bet she never saw you scratch my back
