Cat Scratch Fever Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well, I don't know where they come from but they sure do come
I hope they comin' for me
And I don't know how they do it but they do it real good
I hope they do it for free

[Chorus]
They give me cat scratch fever
Cat scratch fever

[Verse 2]
Well, the first time that I got it I was thirty years old
Pussycat livin' next door
An' I went to see the doctor and he put me on the hold
He said there wasn't no cure
He said

[Chorus]
It's cat scratch fever
Cat scratch fever
Cat scratch fever
Cat scratch fever

[Bridge]
I'm not in danger
I'm not in pain
I'm on the lightning train
You know you got it when it makes you insane
It makes your woman do a race in the brain
[Solo 1]

[Verse 3]
Well, I make the kitten happy with the turn of the hand
She really toyin' with me
And she knows just when it coming when she says to the man
I give you two halves for free

[Chorus]
It gives me cat scratch fever
Cat scratch fever
Cat scratch fever
Cat scratch fever
Cat scratch fever
Fever
Fever
Fever

C'mon just give me the

Cat scratch fever
Cat scratch fever
Cat scratch fever
Cat scratch fever
Cat scratch fever
Cat scratch fever
Cat scratch fever
Cat scratch fever
