He goes on the prowl each night Like an alley cat Looking for some new delight Like an alley cat
She can't trust him out of sight There's no doubt of that He just don't know wrong from right Like an alley cat
He meets them And loves them And leaves them Like that 'Catsanova' does
That's no way to treat a pal She should tell him 'Scat!' Aren't you sorry for that gal And her alley cat?
He meets them And loves them And leaves them Like that 'Catsanova' does
He don't know what faithful means There's no doubt of that He's too busy makin' scenes Like an alley cat
And that's the sad, sad tale of a lonesome quail And her alley cat.
