Well I don't know where they come from
But they sure do come
And they'll be comin' for me
And I don't know how they do it
But they sure do it good
And they'll be doin' it for free

They give me cat scratch fever
Cat scratch fever
Cat scratch fever
Cat scratch fever

The first time that I got it
I was just ten years old
I got it from a kitty next foor
I went to the Dr. and
He gave me the cure
I think I got it some more

Cat scratch fever
Cat scratch fever
Cat scratch fever
Cat scratch fever

It's nothin dangerous , I feel no pain
I've got to ch-ch-change
You know you got it when you're going insane
It makes a grown man cry, cry, cryin'
Won't you make my bed

Well, I make the pussy purr with
The stroke of my hand
That's why they call me the Dean
And I don't know how they do it
But they sure do it good
And they'll be doin' it for free

I got the cat scratch fever
Cat scratch fever
Cat scratch fever
Cat scratch fever

Cat scratch fever
Cat scratch fever
Cat scratch fever
Cat scratch fever
