Lyrics
They took my blue suede shoes, down to ol' Mobile
Got to rockin' with the rhythm, run 'em over at the hill
Put you cat clothes on
'Cause tonight we're gonna really rock it right
Yeah, Kitty put your cat clothes on
'Cause tonight we're gonna really bop 'em right
Well, I slicked up myself till I looked like a dilly
I run down town to get my female Billy
Put you cat clothes on
'Cause tonight we're gonna really rock it right
Yeah, Kitty put your cat clothes on
'Cause tonight we're gonna really rock it right
Rock it!
Well, my ol' gal's slow and easy, but all the hepcats know
When she gets that bopin' beat
She knocks the polish off her toes
Put you cat clothes on
'Cause tonight we're gonna really rock it right
Yeah, Kitty put your cat clothes on
'Cause tonight we're gonna really bop it right
Slap cat!
Well, now come on cat, get with it
Keep your hands off that fruit jar
Do some be-boppin' rhythm, pick the toe nails up tomorrow
Put you cat clothes on
'Cause tonight we're gonna really rock it right
Bop-bop, we rock it right
Bop-bop, we rock it right
Cat clothes on
'Cause tonight we're gonna try to rock it right
Well, cat, cat, cat clothes on
Cat, cat, cat clothes on
Cat, cat, cat clothes on
Cat, cat, cat clothes on
Cat clothes on
Tonight we're gonna really rock it right
