Cool For Cats Lyrics

    (difford/tilbrook)

    The indians send signals
    From the rocks above the pass
    The cowboys take positions
    In the bushes and the grass
    The squaw is with the corporal
    She is tied against the tree
    She doesn't mind the language
    It's the beating she don't need
    She lets loose all the horses
    When the corporal is asleep
    And he wakes to find the fire's dead
    And arrows in his hats
    And davy crockett rides around
    And says it's cool for cats
    The sweeney's doing ninety
    'cos they've got the word to go
    They get a gang of villains
    In a shed up at heathrow
    They're counting out the fivers
    When the handcuffs lock again
    In and out of wandsworth
    With the numbers on their names
    It's funny how their missus'
    Always look the bleeding same
    And meanwhile at the station
    There's a couple of likely lads
    Who swear like how's your father
    And they're very cool for cats
    They're cool for cats

    To change the mood a little
    I've been posing down the pub
    On seeing my reflection
    I'm looking slightly rough
    I fancy this, i fancy that
    I wanna be so flash
    I give a little muscle
    And i spend a little cash
    But all i get is bitter and a nasty little rash
    And by the time i'm sober
    I've forgotten what i've had
    And ev'rybody tells me that it's cool to be a cat
    Cool for cats

    Shake up at the disco
    And i think i've got a pull
    I ask her lots of questions
    And she hangs on to the wall
    I kiss her for the first time
    And then i take her home
    I'm invited in for coffee
    And i give the dog a bone
    She likes to go to discos
    But she's never on her own
    I said i'll see you later
    And i give her some old chat
    But it's not like that on the tv
    When it's cool for cats
    It's cool for cats
