HI !
Well, I don't know where they come from, but they sure do come
I hope they comin' for me.
And I don't know how they do it, but they sure do it good
I hope they doin' it for free.

They give me cat scratch fever

Well, the first time that I got it I was just ten years old
I got it from some kitty next door.
I went to see a doctor and he gave me some cure
I think I got it some more.

They give me cat scratch fever

It's nothing dangerous I feel no pain
I've got to change
you know you got it when you're goin' insane
it makes a grown man cryin', cryin' won't you make my bed.

Well, I make the pussy purr with the stroke of my hand
they know they gettin' it from me.
And they know just where to go when they need their lovin' man.
They know I'm doin' it for free.
