Oh black cat, oh black cat
I'm gonna' take you in
'Cos the people around here
They think you're full of sin
They say that you are to blame
For their bad luck, for their pain
Black cat, oh black cat
I'm gonna' take you in
Oh black cat, oh black cat
I'll make a friend of you
'Cos the same people that treat you badly
Treat me badly too
They say that trouble follows me everywhere
And I'm the reason for their sadness and despair
Oh black, oh black cat
I'll make a friend of you
They see you coming and jump in fright
To them you're just a worry in the cold, dark night
I'll never understand just why they treat you mean
'Cos black cat, you're the sweetest thing I've ever seen
Oh black cat, oh black cat
There's nothing we can do
To change the ways that the people
See me and you
I guess we'll let them go their very merry way
Let superstition shape their each and every day
Oh black cat, oh black cat
There's nothing we can do
Nothing we can do,
Me and you
Hey hey
