Well I don't know where they come from but they sure do come

I hope they comin' for me

And I don't know how they do it but they sure do it good

I hope there doin' it for free



They give me cat scratch fever

Cat scratch fever



well the first time that I got it I was just ten years old

I got it from some kitty next door

and I went to see the doctor and he gave me the cure

I think I got it some more



They give me cat scratch fever

Cat scratch fever

I got a bad scratch fever

The cat scratch fever

It's nothin dangerous

I feel no pain

I've got the choo-choo train

You know you got it when you… you going insane

It makes a grown man cry cry …oh won't you make my bed



well I make the pussy purr with the stroke of my hand

They know they gettin' it from me

They know just where to go when they need their lovin man

They know I doin’ it for free



They give me cat scratch fever

Cat scratch fever

They gotta bad scratch fever

The cat scratch fever
