Pads Paws And Claws Lyrics by Elvis Costello

Pads Paws And Claws Lyrics

    She's a feline tormentor, not any vaudeville wife
    But with a drunk-town lament he leads her a miserable life
    But when he's full of that beer-champagne
    She pads, paws, pads, paws and claws

    And if he should wake up in some terrible dive
    And he don't know if he's so-so
    But he's so surprised he's alive
    "come on little honey, let me under your hive"
    She pads, paws, pads, paws and claws

    She pads, pads around the bedroom, practicing ways to flirt
    He paws, pours another drink and anything in a skirt
    Anything wearing a necklace
    He thinks of claws scratching his back he's
    Going out there he's not coming back

    She's got spider-leg fingers, sharpened whenever he strays
    And she carries a bird-purse, with all of her womanly ways
    'til he's drinking hairspray, she knows that he never would dare
    She could be in pictures if she wasn't all covered in fur
    He's coming home now and here's the surprise
    You wouldn't believe the lies that he tries
    She cut him down to her favourite size
    She pads, paws, pads, paws and claws

    She pads, paws, pads, paws and claws
