Front Porch Cat

[Verse 1] Oh, that front porch cat, she's a real mean one Got a mouse out there, and she's havin' some fun We call out her name, we plead and we beg But she scuttles away, like a sly little egg [Chorus] Front porch cat, won't you please come on in We'll give you some milk, we'll call it a win But you're out on the hunt, roamin' all night long And now we're stuck singin' this bluesy song [verse 2] She's a sly one, oh, that little porch cat With her soft jazzy fur and her love for scat Got the night on her side, and she knows it well Got us wrapped 'round her paw, with her own little spell [Chorus] Front porch cat, won't you please come on in We'll make up your bed, and call it a win But you're tailin' mice out there all night long And again we're stuck singin' this bluesy song [Bridge] Now the moon is high, and the crickets sing The night is alive, and the darkness brings worlds of mystery -- swingin' cats will roam But we're still on the porch, wishin' she'd come home (Little porch cat, won't you please come in) [Chorus] Oh front porch cat, won't you please come on in We'll give you some love, and we'll call it a win But you're out trackin' mice, huntin' all night long And still we're stuck singin' this bluesy song [Verse 3] We'll keep callin' her name, till the break of dawn Hope she'll tire of the hunt, and her mouse be gone Such a stubborn one -- she's makin' us bleary An' she's stalking that mouse until she's worn and weary [Verse 4] So now here we sit, on this peeling front porch And we're toasting the stars, with a shot of remorse while our front porch cat, out there all alone well she'll hunt down her mouse till the break of dawn ...
