You better leave (meow) my kitten alone (meow, meow)

You better leave (meow, meow) my kitten alone (meow, meow)

I done told you big bad bulldog

You better leave her alone (meow, meow)



Don't you know my kitten is a dream?

Don't you know my kitten is a dream?

So, get your hands off of her, 'cause I'm her lovin' man



*Mr. Dog I'm gonna hit you on the top a yo' head

The Batgirl's gonna miss you

And you'll wish that you were dead



If you don't lee-ee-eave my kitten alone

Yes, I love my little kitten

Like you hounddogs love your bone



(Instrumental & sax)



Mr. Dog, I'm gonna hit you on the top a yo' head

The *Batgirl's gonna miss you

And you'll wish that you were dead



If you don't lee-eee-eave my kitten alone

Yes, I love my little kitten

Like all you hounddogs love your bone



Oh yeah

You better leave

You better leave

FADES-

You better lee-eee-eee-eave.
