Lyrics

(C)He goes on the prowl each night like an al ley (G7)cat,

look in’ for some new de light like an al ley (C)cat.

She can’t trust him out of sight, there’s no doubt of (G7)that.

He just don’t know wrong from right like an al ley (C)cat.

He (F)meets ’em (Mee ow)

and (C)loves ’em (Mee ow)

and (D7)leaves ’em, (Mee

ow) what Cat sa (G7)no va does.

(C)It’s no way to treat a pal, she should tell him, (G7)scat!

Aren’t you sor ry for that gal with her al ley (C)cat?

(C)He goes on the prowl each night like an al ley (G7)cat,

look in’ for some new de light like an al ley (C)cat.

He don’t know what “faith ful” means, there’s no doubt of (G7)that.

He’s too bus y mak in’ scenes like an al ley (C)cat.

He (F)meets ’em (Mee ow)

and (C)loves ’em (Mee ow)

and (D7)leaves ’em, (Mee

ow) what Cat sa (G7)no va does.

(C)It’s no way to treat a pal, she should tell him, (G7)scat!

Aren’t you sor ry for that gal with her al ley (C)cat?

(C)cat?

He (C)cat?

And that’s the (F)sad, sad (F#dim7)tale of a (C)lone some frail,

and her (G7)al ley cat.
