Big Black Cat by Tennessee Wayne

She arrives. She slides. She moves like midnight. She grooves like light. Backstreet sound. Click—clack—step. Shadow moves—mind your step. [CHORUS] Big! Black! Cat! Big! Black! Cat! Slinkin’, thinkin’— Where the night is at! Big! Black! Cat! Whiskers flash, tail whip, Moonlight on her back. Every move—smooth— Like she’s walkin’ on a track. [CALL] Who’s that queen in the dark? [RESPONSE] Big black cat! [CALL] Who’s that spark in the park? [RESPONSE] Big black cat! Concrete crumble — dumpster jungle — She owns the avenue. Even little children cry — “I saw her staring through!” [BRIDGE] Eyes like coins. Shine like sin. You look once— She looks in. [CHORUS] Big! Black! Cat! Big! Black! Cat! Creepin’, leapin’, midnight beatin’— Big! Black! Cat! Blue trash can, brown paper bag, Radio hums, tail tag wag. She knows, she goes— She never looks back. [OUTRO] Big… black… Big… black… Big black cat — meow!
