lyrics

well they call him mister cat
but you know it aint really like that
they just need a name for his unpredictable same

he goes running with the dogs
he goes way down below the water
he sits there on the waterlogged logs
he talks straight with the creatures
they swirl all around his head

they call him mister cat
mister cat mister catfish mister lively mister dead
he's a category six
he's a bag of nasty tricks
he's a lonely man and he never craves for company
he's a catastrophe, baby
waiting to visit your hometown

you better not stress the cat
you know it aint really like this and it aint never like that
and check out his classy stetson hat

mist comin' down
mist comin' down on you on me
and looky over there
mist comin' down on the cat

oh they call him mister cat
but you know it aint really like that
