She arrives.
She slides.
She moves like midnight.
She grooves like light.
Backstreet sound.
Click—clack—step.
Shadow moves—mind your step.
[CHORUS]
Big! Black! Cat!
Big! Black! Cat!
Slinkin’, thinkin’—
Where the night is at!
Big! Black! Cat!
Whiskers flash, tail whip,
Moonlight on her back.
Every move—smooth—
Like she’s walkin’ on a track.
[CALL] Who’s that queen in the dark?
[RESPONSE] Big black cat!
[CALL] Who’s that spark in the park?
[RESPONSE] Big black cat!
Concrete crumble — dumpster jungle —
She owns the avenue.
Even little children cry —
“I saw her staring through!”
[BRIDGE]
Eyes like coins.
Shine like sin.
You look once—
She looks in.
[CHORUS]
Big! Black! Cat!
Big! Black! Cat!
Creepin’, leapin’, midnight beatin’—
Big! Black! Cat!
Blue trash can, brown paper bag,
Radio hums, tail tag wag.
She knows, she goes—
She never looks back.
[OUTRO]
Big… black…
Big… black…
Big black cat — meow!
