You know my mama told me papa told me too You don't know what she's up to Well it's a dead cat Come home at night talkin' outa your head Have to take a bath before you go to bed Well it's a dead cat All through the week you're as quiet as a mouse Saturday night you go from house to house I ain't lyin' you're the cheatin' kind There's a dead cat on the line You Detroit women walkin' hand in hand All run around with one another's man Well it's a dead cat Down in the playground up on the street High on the roofs where the hippies meet Well it's a dead cat Well all through the week you're as quiet as a mouse Saturday night you go from house to house I ain't lyin' you're the cheatin' kind There's a dead cat on the line You know you Nashville women walkin' hand in hand All run around with one another's man All through the week you're as quiet as a mouse Saturday night you go from house to house Down in the playground up on the street Out in the clubs where the punks all meet I ain't lyin' you're the cheatin' kind There's a dead cat on the line
