Puss 'N Boots
Adam And The Ants · Antics In The Forbidden Zone [1990]
Boots... Kitty, Kitty!
Pussycat's going to London
Looking for love and for fame
I wish somebody had told her
City folks ain't the same
Pussycat carries a postcard
Won't the big city be nice
That's the place with the action
She's gonna have her a slice
Pussycat, Pussycat where have you been?
I've been to London, now I'm queen
Sitting pretty, I don't wear suits
And the mice all call me -
Puss 'n Boots
Pussycat laughs at the warnings
Where there's a will there's a way
I think you'd agree if you saw her
Rome's built in a day
Pussycat's read all the papers
Seen the movie and knows
All the streets lead to somewhere
And the pavement's gold
Pussycat, Pussycat where have you been?
I've been to London, and now I'm queen
Sitting pretty, I don't wear suits
And the mice all call me -
Puss 'n Boots
Although you know it's wrong
We must do it everyday
When the morning comes
Don't you turn around and say
It's bound to end in tears
So let's do it anyway
Pussycat wasn't a kitten
And not as dumb as they thought
She had a good head on her shoulders
And beauty that couldn't be bought
The royalty made her an offer
If she'd keep trouble at bay
They'd give her the money and diamonds
Be queen for a day
Pussycat, Pussycat where have you been?
I've been to London, and now I'm queen
Sitting pretty, I don't wear suits
And the mice all call me -
Puss 'n Boots
Pussycat, Pussycat where have you been?
I've been to London, and now I'm queen
Sitting pretty, I don't wear suits
And the mice all call me -

Puss 'N Boots
Adam and the Ants' 1990 hit 'Puss 'N Boots' stands as a defining track of the new wave revival, blending theatrical storytelling with a distinct Caribbean reggae rhythm. The song features the band's signature flamboyant stage presence and vocal harmonies, characteristic of their work on the album *Antics in the Forbidden Zone*. Released during the height of their career, the recording captures the group's ability to merge pop sensibilities with cultural influences, creating an anthem that remains a staple of their discography. Its enduring appeal lies in its unique fusion of genres and the charismatic performance style that defined the group's public image in the early 1990s.
