Louis Jordan:Cat Scratchin'
Cat Scratchin'
This song is by Louis Jordan and appears on
The compilation album Rock 'n' Roll (1989).
When I was with my friends the other night
We did up the town and we saw some crazy sights
First stop was Joe's on the basement floor
What used to be Joe's ain't Joe's no more
We started: cat scratching
We started: cat scratching
Blind as a bat
But still didn't wanna go home
My gal got upset we had to leave that place
Talking about scratchin' was a bad disgrace
I quit my friends and went to Mable's for a sip
I don't have to tell you what happened on that trip
We started: cat scratching
We started: cat scratching
Blind as a bat
But still didn't wanna go home
Old Elmo cried let's do 'em up again
But all the action fell on my lady friend
Lulu was beating up her chops and talking back
She sang out some jive my chick didn't like
They started: cat scratching
They started: cat scratching
Blind as a bat
But still didn't wanna go home
We lost one of our friends out on the very next fling
Gave him up and I heard that jail house ring
I ran downtown to the judge and asked him what did he do
He said, he was crawling around main street like a tiger in a zoo
