9 lives of frankie the cat

out of seven orphaned cats only one was black

that’s why the man tried to drown him, tied in a sack

that rainy night he survived, scared, but alive

in the streets of a dirty town a new life was found

frankie the cat

yeah, you bet it was hard, body full of scars

he lost an eye in a fight & got hit by a car

once a leader of a gang till betrayed & stabbed

left bleeding in the street, but still he wasn’t dead

frankie was accused of carrying bad luck

kids set his tail on fire or tied him to a truck

thrown out of a window,

rescued by a witch who was cooking a cat soup

he escaped that ugly bitch

9 lives of frankie the cat

one night he saw her out on the street

walking like goddess in a mute symphony

eight times to die for one day to live

finally it was for real

he fell in love with a beautiful cat

she made him think his life’s not that bad

he fell in love with a beautiful cat

she broke his heart & for frankie that was that
