The Alley Cat Song
Bobby Rydell
Words by Jack Harlen
Music by Frank Bjorn
Despite the title of the LP, the instrumental version
by Bent Fabric charted at # 7 in the late summer of 1962.
Danish title is "Omkring et Flygel" (Around the Piano)
from Bobby Rydell's "Top Hits Of 1963" LP
He goes on the prowl each night
Like an alley cat
Looking for some new delight
Like an alley cat
She can't trust him out of sight
There's no doubt of that
He just don't know wrong from right
Like an alley cat
He meets them
And loves them
And leaves them
Like that "Catsanova" does
That's no way to treat a pal
She should tell him so
Aren't you sorry for that gal
And her alley cat?
He meets them
And loves them
And leaves them
Like that "Catsanova" does
He don't know what faithful means
There's no doubt of that
He's too busy makin' scenes
Like an alley cat
And that's the sad, sad tale of a lonesome quail
And her alley cat.
