Black Cat

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...
