the skinny cat that could

i'm the skinny cat that could
i ain't got no time to knock on wood
i'm the skinny cat that could
i ain't got no knuckles to knock on wood

seems i'm always walking a fence
barking dogs on either side
but I got a graceful leap
and a damn tough gnarly hide

these birds always singing that I can't fly
but yo! I can prowl
someday I'll down an owl

watch me hustle a mouse
sure I feel bad
that he left the house...
never should have left the house
yo

i mac five, six alleys
8, 9 dames
i never stick around for their hissy games

i puff bob marly all day
no, I don't care what ol McGruff say
