Put on your feline finery "Da' Katz" are meeting down below
If you feel like rocking with a Tabby, Tom, and Calico
It'll dirty up your pedigree
But we guarantee a good time
Wee got some catnip that'll set you free
Come on, Come on, paws on the line
Alley Katz, Allen Katz come out and play
Yowlin' and howlin' a social ballet
Out in the alley it's strictly low brow
Alley Katz, Alley Katz make me meow, meow, meow
Felix is a puss in boots
He really likes to scratch and bite
Sylvester is unnatural
The Kitty is a catamite
He will dirty up your pedigree
He will guarantee a good time
He got some catnip that'll set you free
Come on, Come on, paws on the line
Alley Katz, Alley Katz come out and play
Yowlin' and howlin' a social ballet
Out in the alley it's strictly low brow
Alley Katz, Alley Katz make me meow, meow, meow

Hall & Oates released the first of their 18 albums in 1972 on Atlantic Records. They would go on to sell 13 million albums and 6 million singles primarily during the 70’s and 80’s when they recorded their most prolific and profound music. They blended rock, jazz, soul, and pop create a genre they titled rock and soul.

While their technical musicianship, innovative songwriting styles, and popular live performances were praised, they also had a fruitful partnership with their manager Tommy Mottola, who was helped Hall & Oates break into music videos before they were popular and made profitable financial deals by helping them get on the ground level of and corporate sponsorship of tours. Hall & Oates were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2014.
