Stray Cat Blues Lyrics - The Rolling Stones

1 I hear the click-clack of your feet on the stairs

2 I know you're no scared rat, honey

3 There'll be a feast if you just come upstairs

4 But it's no hanging matter

5 It's no capital crime

6 I can see that you're fifteen years old

7 No, I don't want your I.D.

8 I can see that you're so far from home

9 But it's no hanging matter

10 It's no capital crime

11 Oh yeah, you're a strange stray cat

12 Oh yeah, don'tcha scratch like that

13 Oh yeah, you're a strange stray cat

14 Bet your mama don't know you scream like that

15 I bet your mother don't know you can spit like that

16 You look so weird and you're so far from home

17 But you don't really miss your mother

18 Don't look so scared, I'm no mad-brained bear

19 But it's no hanging matter

20 It's no capital crime

21 Oh, yeah

22 Woo

23 I bet your mama don't know that you scatch like that

24 I bet she don't know you can bite like that

25 You say you got a friend, that she's wilder than you

26 Why don't you bring her upstairs

27 If she's so wild then she can join in, too

28 It's no hanging matter

29 It's no capital crime

30 Oh yeah, you're a strange stray cat

31 Oh yeah, don'tcha scratch like that

32 Oh yeah, you're a strange stray cat

33 I bet you mama don't know you can bite like that

34 I'll bet she never saw you scratch my back
