Lyrics:

Every night downtown on the streets of the city
When the midnight hour's coming on
You'll see her come slinking down the alley in a tight dress
She'll walk them streets till the break of dawn
But she'll slip away before the sun starts rising
When the daylight comes she's gonna be long gone
Don't you ever come down here looking for trouble
'Cause trouble is the lady's middle name
You may think you're bad but let me tell you something
There ain't no way you're gonna play her game
She'll make you feel like a fool with a hole in your pocket
Like you've been run over by a choo-choo train
She purrs and she growls
And she rambles and she prowls
And she's evil and she's mean
Like a misery machine
She's a little bit of this and a whole lot of that
Like an alley cat
You better stay away from that midnight lady
Or you'll be standing on the corner with the mess of the blues
She's an accident looking for a place to happen
She'll make you an offer that you can't refuse
If she ever gets them claws into you
She'll turn you every which way but loose
And she purrs and she growls
And she rambles and she prowls
And she's evil and she's mean
Like a misery machine
She's a little bit of this and a whole lot of that
Like an alley cat

Well, she purrs and she growls
And she rambles and she prowls
And she's evil and she's mean
Like a misery machine
She's a little bit of this and a whole lot of that
Like an alley cat
Like an alley, like an alley, like an alley cat
Like an alley, like an alley, like an alley cat
