Ay, ay, ay, ay (meow)

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh (purr)

Ay, ay

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Needless to say, I keep her in check

She was a wild cat, nevertheless (yeah)

Claws in my couch now, kitty, I’m a wreck (wreck)

Crash on my lap, kitty, you’re a wreck (wreck)

Needless to say, I’m keeping her in check

She was all claws-claws, nevertheless

Claws in my couch now, kitty, I’m a wreck

Crash on my lap, kitty, you’re a wreck

Hissin’ in a bad way, losin’ your cool

Scratchin’ at my door, kitty, don’t drool

Someone knocked the catnip, don’t know how that felt

Lookin’ at you sideways, whiskers on tilt

Ooh-ooh-ooh

Some treats you just can’t refuse

She wanna pounce me like a muse

And I’m not tryna lose

Then you’re left in the dust

Unless I scratch by ya

You’re the tabby cat

I think your purr would be too much

Or you’ll be left in the dust

Unless I scratch by ya

You’re the tabby cat

You’re the tabby cat

Every time I’m leavin’ on you (meow)

You don’t make it easy, no (no, no)

Wish I could stay home for you

Give me a reason to, oh (oh)

Every time I’m headin’ out

I can hear you meowin’ me to turn around

Fightin’ for my pets and you won’t back down

Even if we gotta chase it all right now, oh (now)

I know you’re scared of the unknown (‘known)

You don’t wanna nap alone (alone)

I know I always come and go (and go)

But the catnip’s outta my control

And you’ll be left in the dust

Unless I scratch by ya

You’re the tabby cat

I think your purr would be too much

Or you’ll be left in the dust

Unless I scratch by ya

You’re the tabby cat

You’re the tabby cat (yeah)
