Wet Whiskers

[Instrumental] (Verse 1) Down in the alley where the streetlights glow, There's a cat with a bottle, putting on a show, Swinging to the rhythm of the city's beat, In his glassy eyes, you can see defeat. (Verse 2) Whiskey on his whiskers, gin on his breath, He's a cool cat gone astray, lost in his own depth, The saxophone wails, a mournful croon, As the cat keeps on drinking, till way past noon. (Chorus) Oh, he's a cat with a drinking problem, Too much booze, he can't solve 'em, He's drown in sorrow , can't see tomorrow, Oh, he's a cat with a drinking problem. (Verse 3) He used to be sleek, with a coat shiny bright, But now he's just a mess, lost in the night, He's got tales to tell, but they're all drowned out, By the clink of the bottle, and the bartender's shout. (Verse 4) His friends all have left him, they couldn't bear, To watch him spiral down, into despair, But the cat keeps on drinking, it's all he knows, (Chorus) Oh, he's a cat with a drinking problem, Too much booze, he can't solve 'em, He's drowning in sorrow, can't see tomorrow, Oh, he's a cat with a drinking problem. (Post-Chorus) So if you see him there, with a glass in his paw, Just know that he's lost, in the bottle's cruel draw, But maybe one day, he'll find his way back, (Outro) Until then, he's just a cat, with a drinking Knack!
