You know my mama told me papa told me too
You don't know what she's up to
Well it's a dead cat
Come home at night talkin' outa your head
Have to take a bath before you go to bed
Well it's a dead cat
All through the week you're as quiet as a mouse
Saturday night you go from house to house
I ain't lyin' you're the cheatin' kind
There's a dead cat on the line

You Detroit women walkin' hand in hand
All run around with one another's man
Well it's a dead cat
Down in the playground up on the street
High on the roofs where the hippies meet
Well it's a dead cat
Well all through the week you're as quiet as a mouse
Saturday night you go from house to house
I ain't lyin' you're the cheatin' kind
There's a dead cat on the line

You know you Nashville women walkin' hand in hand
All run around with one another's man
All through the week you're as quiet as a mouse
Saturday night you go from house to house
Down in the playground up on the street
Out in the clubs where the punks all meet
I ain't lyin' you're the cheatin' kind
There's a dead cat on the line
