 Subject: Stray Cat Blues Lyrics
 
 Someone had asked for the lyrics to "Stray Cat Blues" by the Rolling Stones.
 
 This is as near as I can figure out:
 
 I hear the click-clack of your feet on the stairs,
 I know your loping stride, babe.
 I'll be a beast if you just come up stairs, but
 It's no hanging matter
 It's no capital crime.
 
 And I can see that you're just fifteen years old
 But I don't want your ID
 Don't look so scared, I'm not not hair-brained bear
 
 And it's no hangin matter
 It's no capital crime
 
 CHORUS
 Oh yeah, you're a strange stray cat, oh yeah,
 Won't you scratch my back, oh yeah,
 You're a strange stray cat, I bet,
 I bet your mama don't know that you bite like that
 I bet your mama don't  know that you spit like that
 
 You've got a friend, you say she's wilder than you
 Why don't you bring her upstairs?
 If she's so wild then she can join in, too--
 It's no hangin' matter,
 It ain't no capital crime
 
 CHORUS
 
 You're alone so far from home,
 But you don't really miss your mother
 I've been so many times all all alone
 
 But it ain't no hangin' matter
 It ain't no capital crime
 
 CHORUS
