This cat's on a hot tin roof
Drinkin' that whiskey, 96 proof
Don't need no doctor,
don't feel no pain
My legs are just
two steps ahead of my brain
This cat's on a hot tin roof
This cat's gonna shake it loose
This cat don't get the blues
'Cause this cat's shakin'
on a hot tin roof
This cat's been out on the town
I'm the cat's meow,
I'm the king with a crown
My head is spinnin'
and I got the shakes
I can't stop now
'cause I got no brakes
on a hot tin roof
This cat's gonna shake it loose
This cat don't get the blues
'Cause this cat's shakin'
on a hot tin roof
<Interlude>
There ain't no point
in holdin' me down
I'll kick and I'll scratch
and I'll howl
Hey hound dog, get outta my way
'Cause this cat is on the prowl
This cat's on a hot tin roof
Jumpin' up and down like
a long neck goose
Shimmy and shake,
baby you can't fail
Rockin' so hard that
it's off the scale
This cat's on a hot tin roof
This cat's gonna shake it loose
This cat don't get the blues
'Cause this cat's shakin'
on a hot tin roof
This cat's on a hot tin roof
This cat's gonna shake it loose
This cat don't get the blues
'Cause this cat's shakin'
on a hot tin roof
cked down
and they put you first in line
And so you finally ask yourself
just how big you are
and take your place in a wiser
world of bigger motor cars
<Intelrude>
So Where the hell was Biggles
when you needed him
last Saturday
And where were all the sportsmen
who always pulled you though
They're all resting down
in Cornwall
writing up their memoirs
for a paper-back edition
of the Boy Scout Manual
See there! A man born
