Went home last night, heard a noise, I asked my wife what was that
 Said man don't be so suspicious, that ain't nothin' but a cat

 Lord I traveled this world all over mama, takin' all kinds of chance
 Travelin' this world all over mama, takin' all kinds of chance
 But I never come home before, seein' a cat wearin' a pair of pants

 Lord I wouldn't call him cat man, if he'd come around in the day
 Wouldn't call him cat man, if he'd come around in the day
 But he waits till late at night woman, when he can steal my cream away

 Lord I want that cat man to stay away from my house, Lordy when I'm out
 Lord I want that cat man to stay away from my house, oh Lord when I'm out
 'Cause I believe he's the cause of my woman, wearin' the mattress down

 Said I went home last night, actin' just quiet as a lamb
 Said I went home last night, actin' quiet as a lamb
 I never raised no stuff man, till I heard my backdoor slam
