Well, I don't know where they come from 
But they sure do come, I hope they're comin' for me 
And I don't know how they do it, but they sure do it good 
I hope there doin' it for free 

They give me cat scratch fever, cat scratch fever 
Cat scratch fever, cat scratch fever 

Well, the first time that I got it I was just ten years old 
I got it from some kitty next door 
And I went to see the doctor, and he gave me the cure 
I think I got it some more 

They give me cat scratch fever, cat scratch fever 
Cat scratch fever, cat scratch fever 

It's nothin' dangerous, I feel no pain 
I've got the choo-choo train 
You know you got it when you goin' insane 
It makes a grown man cry, cry, cry 

Well, I make the pussy purr with the stroke of my hand 
They know they gettin' it from me 
And they know just where to go 
When they need their lovin' man 
They know I'm doin' it for free 

They give me cat scratch fever, cat scratch fever 
They gotta bad scratch fever, cat scratch fever 

Cat scratch fever, cat scratch fever 
Cat scratch fever, cat scratch fever 
They give me cat scratch fever, cat scratch fever
