Bear Cat - Original - Rufus Thomas

You know what you said about me, don’t you woman…

Well, you ain’t nothin' but a bear cat

Been scratchin' at my door

You ain’t nothin' but a bear cat

Been scratchin' at my door

You can purr pretty kitty

But I ain’t gonna rub you no more

You said you was a long-hair

But I can see through that

You said you was a long-hair

But I can see through that

And mama I know

You’re just an old bear cat

You ain’t nothin' but a bear cat

Been scratchin' at my door

Ain’t nothin' but a bear cat

You been scratchin' at my door

You can purr pretty kitty

But I ain’t gonna rub you no more

Whoa, rub you!

Whoa, git with it now

Git it, git it, git it, git it!

Oh, listen to that old cat

Meooowwww… scat!

Oh, tip it miss kitty

Tip it honey, tip it!

Hey!

I’m tellin' you honey…

You made me feel so mean

Made me moan and groan

You made me feel so mean

You made me moan and groan

You ain’t wantin' no man

You’re just lookin' for an old soup bone

You ain’t nothin' but a bear cat

Been scratchin' at my door

You’re just an old bear cat

Been scratchin' at my door

You can purr pretty kitty

But I ain’t gonna rub you no more

Meow, meow

Meoooww, meoooowwwww!
