Elton John

Songwriter: Bernie Taupin Elton John

[Verse 1]
She threw back that shiny hair
Like the mane on a delta queen
Gonna spend my last dime on a telephone call
Because she's the wildest thing I've ever seen
She was just plain mister once
Got herself fixed up real good
Just a little boy lost in the land of the free
A wiggle and a walk away from womanhood

[Chorus]
Now they call her the cat
And that's a stone fact
They took a little of this
She got a little of that
Now billy got a kitty
He got something to scratch
So they call her, yeah they call her the cat

[Verse 2]
She just does that double act
She got babs and joan down pat
She got hips like mick, she's a rolling stone
Never seen a woman shake like that
She was just plain mister once
Got herself fixed up real good
Just a little boy lost in the land of the free
A wiggle and a walk away from womanhood

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
She's so fine that the water line
Don't separate hot and cold
She got stitched up bitchy by an old m.D
Now she's headed out to Hollywood or so I'm told

[Chorus]

[Verse 4]
And that's a stone fact
They took a little of this
She got a little of that
Now billy got a kitty
He got something to scratch
So they call her, yeah they call her the cat
