used to hang around with a gang of cats We'd ride around late at night and chase down all the rats There was so many of us, nothing they could do We took over their parties and we stole their girlfriends too Well now I'm older and those cats are wearing suits They gave away their creepers and the sold their combat boots They live out in the suburbs where they're all just getting fat The spirit of the cat The spirit of the cat Well let me tell you about the spirit of the cat Don't matter how old you are Don't matter where you're at Don't matter how big your quiff is or how big it used to be The spirit of the cat is something deep you cannot see So now you're older and you gotta wear a suit You gave away your creepers and you sold your combat boots You live out in the suburbs where you're all just getting fat Remember The spirit of the cat
