Nine Lives

I've got whiskers sharp and a tail held high
A feline rogue under the dark sky
Through alleyways and dirty dives
I'm living on the edge of my nine lives

Chased a mouse through an alley in skid row
Stole some fish from a chef in a cheap bistro
Leapt from a tree landed just in time
One life down but I'm feeling fine

Nine lives left to live
I'm such a daring soul
Through wind and driving rain
I'm on a nightly stroll

Faced a dog with a vicious growl
When out on a midnight prowl
Scaled a wall but nearly fell
Another life gone
What the hell

Fell in love with a Russian blue
She had eyes with a hazel hue
We danced on the docks all night
Until we got into a fight
Hey!, I just escaped in time
But lost another life
It's a crime

Nine lives left to live
I'm such a daring soul
Through wind and driving rain
I'm on a nightly stroll

They say I've got nine lives
But I'd rather have nine wives
