I want a purr all I get is a growl
when the lamb is loose she's on the prowl
sharpen her claws up and down your back
cat's eyes is green cat's heart is black

you got to cage that tiger
you got to cage that tiger
before she eats you up

hey hey now
hey hey now
oh yeah

she's public feline number 9
does what she wants and she takes her time
sneaks on by like she's looking for blood
like a man killed her on the hunt

you got to cage that tiger
you got to cage that tiger
before she eats you up

hey hey now
hey hey now
oh yeah

I want a purr all I get is a growl
when the lamb is loose she's on the prowl
sharpen her claws up and down your back
cat's eyes is green cat's heart is black

you got to cage that tiger
you got to cage that tiger
before she eats you up

hey hey now
hey hey now
oh yeah
