Some Cats Know

The old prospectors nose for gold

the sailor who can read the sky

the gamblers sense of when to fold

the trick to making apple pie

these mysteries one cannot explain

this old black art

so queer and quaint

like making love, or making rain

either you got it,

or

you

aint

Some cats know

you can tell by the touchin

they don't come on huffin and puffin

and grabbin and clutchin

some cats know

how to take it nice and slow

but if a cat don't know

a cat don't know

some cats know

how to stir up the feelin

they keep foolin round

till they're half way to the celin

some cats know

how to make the honey flow

but if a cat don't know

a cat don't know

some cats know just where it's at

they are not like some others

I would ruther one like that

If I had my druthers

Some cats know

how to play nice and pretty

nice and soft

and soon you're off to

good time city

some cats know

how to take it nice and slow

but if a cat don't know

a cat don't know

he just

don't know
