Pussycat's going to London
Looking for love and for fame
I wish somebody had told her
City folks ain't the same

Pussycat carries a postcard
Won't the big city be nice?
That's the place with the action
She's gonna have her a slice

Pussycat, pussycat
Where have you been?
I've been to London
And now I'm queen

Sitting pretty
I don't wear suits
And the mice all call me
Puss'n boots

Pussycat laughs at the warnings
Where there's a will there's a way
I think you'd agree if you saw her
Rome's built in a day

Pusscat's read all the papers
Seen the movie and knows
All of the streets lead to somewhere
And the pavement's gold

Pussycat, pussycat
Where have you been?
I've been to London
And now I'm queen

Sitting pretty
I don't wear suits
And the mice all call me
Puss'n boots

Although you know it's wrong
We must do it everyday
When the morning comes
Don't you turn around and say

It's the bound to end in tears
So let's do it anyway

Pussycat wasn't a kitten
Not as dumb as they thought
She had a good head on her shoulders
And beauty that couldn't be bought

The royalty made her an offer
If she'd keep trouble at bay
They'd give her the money and diamonds
Be queen for a day!

Pussycat, pussycat
Where have you been?
I've been to London
And now I'm queen

Sitting pretty
I don't wear suits
And the mice all call me
Puss'n boots

Pussycat, pussycat
Where have you been?
I've been to London
And now I'm queen

Sitting pretty
I don't wear suits
And the mice all call me
Puss'n boots

Pussycat, pussycat
Where have you been?
I've been to London
And now I'm queen

Sitting pretty
I don't wear suits
And the mice all call me
Puss'n boots

Pussycat, pussycat
Where have you been?
I've been to London
And now I'm queen

Sitting pretty
I don't wear suits
And the mice all call me
Puss'n boots

Pussycat, pussycat
Where have you been?
I've been to London
And now I'm queen

Sitting pretty
I don't wear suits
And the mice all call me
Puss'n boots

Adam Ant

Adam Ant (born Stuart Leslie Goddard) began his music career in 1976 in London during the Punk movement where he fronted Adam and the Ants. The band found success in the early 1980s, scoring eight top 20 hits in the UK (one of which almost reached the top 40 in the US).

In 1982, Ant went solo, later giving the reason that the band was ‘exhausted’, and gained international success with his first two solo albums, with several singles (including"Goody Two Shoes", “Friend Or Foe” and “Puss ‘N Boots”) reaching the top 30 in several countries.

His third album Vive Le Rock was less successful than his previous two. Aside from its first single “Apollo 9” doing well in the UK, the album made little impact otherwise. Ant’s participation in the international event Live Aid was reduced to performing one song, leading him to later call it “a big fucking mistake” and “the end of rock and roll”.
