Alley Katz
Hall And Oates · Along The Red Ledge [1978]
Put on your feline finery
Da' Katz are meeting down below
If you feel like rocking
With a Tabby, Tom, and Calico
It'll dirty up your pedigree
But we guarantee a good time
We got some catnip that'll set you free
Come on, come on, paws on the line
Alley Katz, Alley Katz come out and play
Yowlin' and howlin' a social ballet
Out in the alley it's strictly low brow
Alley Katz, Alley Katz make me meow, meow, meow
Felix is a puss in boots
He really likes to scratch and bite
Sylvester is unnatural
The Kitty is a catamite
He will dirty up your pedigree
He will guarantee a good time
He got some catnip that'll set you free
Come on, come on, paws on the line
Alley Katz, Alley Katz come out and play
Yowlin' and howlin' a social ballet
Out in the alley it's strictly low brow
Alley Katz, Alley Katz make me meow, meow, meow
He will dirty up your pedigree
He will guarantee a good time
He got some catnip that'll set you free
Come on, come on, paws on the line
Alley Katz, Alley Katz come out and play
Yowlin' and howlin' a social ballet
Out in the alley it's strictly low brow
Alley Katz, Alley Katz make me meow, meow
