Elton John - They Call Her The Cat lyrics

Music by Elton John

Lyrics by Bernie Taupin

She threw back that shiny hair

Like the mane on a Delta queen

Gonna spend my last dime on a telephone call

'Cause she's the wildest thing I've ever seen

She was just plain mister once

Got herself fixed up real good

Just a little boy lost in the land of the free

A wiggle and a walk away from womanhood

Now they call her the cat

And that's a stone fact

They took a little of this

She got a little of that

Now Billy got a kitty

He got something to scratch

So they call her, yeah they call her the cat

She just does that double act

She got Babs and Joan down pat

She got hips like Mick, she's a Rolling Stone

Never seen a woman shake like that

She was just plain mister once

Got herself fixed up real good

Just a little boy lost in the land of the free

A wiggle and a walk away from womanhood

Now they call her the cat

And that's a stone fact

They took a little of this

She got a little of that

Now Billy got a kitty

He got something to scratch

So they call her, yeah they call her the cat

She's so fine that the water line

Don't separate hot and cold

She got stitched up bitchy by an old M.D.

Now she's headed out to Hollywood or so I'm told

Now they call her the cat

And that's a stone fact

They took a little of this

She got a little of that

Now Billy got a kitty

He got something to scratch

So they call her, yeah they call her the cat

And that's a stone fact

They took a little of this

She got a little of that

Now Billy got a kitty

He got something to scratch

So they call her, yeah they call her the cat
