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
