Ton : EEnglish
Couplet
AI hear the Gclick-clack of your Dfeet on the stairs, C A
AI know you're Gno scare-eyed Dhoney. C A
AThere'll be a Gfeast if you just Dcome upstairs, but
EIt's no hanging matter, it's no capital crime.
Couplet
AYes I can Gsee that you're Dfifteen years old. C A
ANo I don't Gwant your Di.d. C A
AYes I can Gsee that you're so far Dfrom home, but
EIt's no hanging matter, it's no capital crime.
Refrain
EOh Gyeah, you're a strange stray cat
GOh Dyeah, don'tcha scratch like that
DOh Ayeah, you're a strange stray cat, I bet
EBet your mama don't know ya scream like that
EI bet your mother don't know that you spit like that.
Couplet
AYou look so Gweird and you're so, so Dfar from home C A
ABut you Greally miss your Dmother C A
ADon't look so Gscared I'm not no Dmad-brained bear, but
EBut it's no hanging matter, it's no capital crime, oh yeah...
