I like a cheech-a-cheech- 
Chee-roni 
Like they make at home or 
A healthy fish 
With the big backbone 
I'm Abraham deLacy 
Giuseppe Casey 
Thomas O'Malley 
O'Malley, the alley cat! 

I've got that wanderlust 
Gotta walk the scene 
Gotta kick up highway dust 
Feel the grass that's green 
Gotta strut them city streets 
Showin' off my Eclat, yeah 
Tellin' my friends 
Of the social elite 
Or some cute cat 
I happen to meet 
I'm Abraham deLacy 
Giuseppe Casey 
Thomas O'Malley 
O'Malley, the alley cat! 

I'm king of the highway 
Prince of the boulevard 
Duke of avant arde 
The world is my back yard 
So if you're goin' my way 
That's the road you wanna seek 
Calcutta to Rome or 
Home-sweet-home in Paris 
Magnifique, you all 

I only got myself 
And this big old wrld 
When I sip that cup of life 
With my fingers curled 
I don't worry what road to take 
I don't have to think of that 
Whatever I take 
Is the road I make 
It's the road of life 
Make no mistake, for me 
Yeah, Abraham deLacy 
Giuseppe Casey 
Thomas O'Malley 
O'Malley, the alley cat! 
That's right 
And I'm very proud of that 
Yeah
