Verse 1:

  Am7add2 Bm7/E [etc.]
  Catlong sighs holdin' Kitty's 
black tooth
                     [1: E7#9]
  She left to marry some top cat, 
ain't it the cold truth

  Am         Dm7              
  And there hasn't been a tally 
         Am7
since Sally left the alley
         Dm7                       
  Since Kitty left with Big Pretty 
                Esus4       E  
things have got pretty thin,
Esus4  E

        yeah yeah
        Dm7                      
  It's tight in this business and 
  F7                     (Dsus4/A)
young dudes are musclin' in

Verse 2:

  Big Jack Knife cries cause baby's 
in a bundle
  She goes runnin' nightly, lightly 
through the jungle
  And them tin cans are explodin' 
down in the ninety degree heat
  Cat somehow lost his baby down on 
Bleeker Street

       Dm7 [N.C.]
  It's sad but it sure is true
Continúa después del anuncio
  Gsus4           G         Gsus4
  Cat shrugs his shoulders, sits 
           G
back and sighs

Chorus:

  C             Em7   F   G     
  Ooh what can I do, ooh what 
    Am
can I do?
  C             Em7   F   G     
  Ooh what can I do, ooh what 
    Am
can I do?

Verse 3:

  Catlong lies back bent on a trash 
can
  Flashin' lights cut the night into
 white cities of neon [?]
  Well you better move fast when 
you're young or you're not long 
around
  Cat somehow lost his Kitty down in
 the city pound

          Dm7        F7        
  So get right, get tight, get 
Esus4    E   Esus4    E
down

(4:45):

        Esus4                      
  Well, who's that down at the end 
        E
of the alley
  Esus4               E
  She's been gone so long
  Esus4                            
  (Here she comes, here she comes, 
 E
here she comes, here she comes)
                        the whole 
gang is watching her
  Esus4                            
  (Here she comes, here she comes, 
 E
here she comes, here she comes)

  F#m                           
  Kitty's back in town (here she 
             |
comes now)  |  [4X]
   D               A            
  Kitty's back in town (oh, oh, 
A/G#         |
all right)   |

  Dsus4                  D         
  Cat knows his Kitty's been untrue
Dsus4  D

      Amaj7                   F#m
  And that she left him for a city 
dude
        D              E
  Well she's so soft, she's so blue
  Gsus4                   G     
  When he looks into her eyes he
Gsus4                G
 just sits back and sighs

Coda (5:40):

  Ooh what can I do, ooh what 
    Am
can I do?
  Ooh what can I do, ooh what can I 
do?
  Oh oh oh oh oh, all right
