Bear Cat - Original

You know what you said about me, don’t you woman…
Well, you ain’t nothin' but a bear cat
Been scratchin' at my door
You ain’t nothin' but a bear cat
Been scratchin' at my door
You can purr pretty kitty
But I ain’t gonna rub you no more
You said you was a long-hair
But I can see through that
You said you was a long-hair
But I can see through that
And mama I know
You’re just an old bear cat
You ain’t nothin' but a bear cat
Been scratchin' at my door
Ain’t nothin' but a bear cat
You been scratchin' at my door
You can purr pretty kitty
But I ain’t gonna rub you no more
Whoa, rub you!
Whoa, git with it now
Git it, git it, git it, git it!
Oh, listen to that old cat
Meooowwww… scat!
Oh, tip it miss kitty
Tip it honey, tip it!
Hey!
I’m tellin' you honey…
You made me feel so mean
Made me moan and groan
You made me feel so mean
You made me moan and groan
You ain’t wantin' no man
You’re just lookin' for an old soup bone
You ain’t nothin' but a bear cat
Been scratchin' at my door
You’re just an old bear cat
Been scratchin' at my door
You can purr pretty kitty
But I ain’t gonna rub you no more
Meow, meow
Meoooww, meoooowwwww!
