| There’s a new element around the neighborhood
|
| And the old ones don’t approve
|
| So the word’s being sent and it is understood
|
| That the young ones got to move
|
| They got to keep their influental name
|
| They’re not allowing us to stake a claim
|
| It isn’t whether you can play the game, believe me
|
| It’s whether you shine your shoes
|
| I was home alone when they told me about your arrival
|
| On the tube
|
| And I was glad to know that the rumours about your arrival
|
| Weren’t true
|
| But now they’re calling you a superstar
|
| You’re on the air no matter where they are
|
| It isn’t whether you can play guitar, believe me
|
| It’s whether you make the news
|
| I threw a penny down the well so I could find out
|
| Why I was turning for the worse
|
| You put me under such a spell it blew my mind out
|
| And now I’m burning — call a nurse
|
| 'Cause I believe I’m gonna fade away
|
| They will be coming for me any day
|
| There’s nothing more than I can do or say, believe me
|
| I’ve certainly got the blues
|
| I got the fever
|
| Cat fever
|
| Cat fever
|
| Cat fever |
