Puss'n Boots

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



Although you know it's wrong

You 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

Puss'n Boots

Released during the height of his solo career, the track exemplifies the genre's characteristic blend of electronic instrumentation and catchy, danceable rhythms. The song features the distinctive vocal style that defined Ant's public persona, characterized by a unique blend of androgynous charm and theatrical flair. As part of his broader discography from that era, the recording captures the vibrant energy of the early 80s music scene, where pop sensibilities met emerging electronic sounds. The composition remains a notable song in his catalogue, reflecting the artistic direction that led to his status as a cult icon of the period.
