Drivin' down the road just the other night 
I saw a rockin' cat in my headlight 
Gave him a ride, he had a place to be 
Meetin' a man named Ed you see 
He said he's going to be the rockinest cat in town 

He started humming a tune called "Baby Let's Play 
house" 
Said a cat named Black would play it on the old 
doghouse 
Said he's goin' to play it on T.V. 
That's when the people all would see 
He's goin to be the rockinest cat in town 

The rockinest cat in town 
Tear them barriers down 
A white man singin' the blues 
All the kids goin' to make him the news 
Cause he's a rockin' cat, the rockinest cat in town 

Dropped him of went home, started watchin' a show 
Said the program was from 40 years ago 
I watched Ed sullivan the host 
That's when I turned white as a ghost 
Watchin thr rockin', rockinest cat in town 

He was the rockinest cat in town, he tore them barriers 
down 
He was a white man singing the blues, 
All the cats are going to make him the news 
He was the rockin' cat, the rockinest cat in town 
But I'd just met the rockinest cat in town 
Who was that cat, the rockinest cat in town
