Mango Django > Cat with a Fiddle Lyrics

CAT WITH A FIDDLE
Written by Stephan Dudash
BMI©2004

Verse 1:

I'm a hot scattin' bebop cat, and I ain't lyin'
My kitten catterwails when my paws go slippin' and slidin'
Up and down these strings, she tells me,
Them gypsy blues, oh, how they tease me.
In dim lights, your musical flights are so mystifyin'

Verse 2:

Legatos and blues-a-gato licks are gonna ensnare you
And play your heart like prey that ain't got no prayer, so true
It's catnipped my lady, she can't help saying
"Hey, Catman do more real hot playing"
I say, "gladly" with tender fiddle love you feline player

Chorus:

I'm a cat with a fiddle, "(you), play a little on the wild side"
Cat with a fiddle. Every note's got gato soul bonafide.
I'm a cat with a fiddle.

Half Verse:

So anywhere from here to Bali
"On a hot tin roof or in some back alley"
Come hear me play, I'll whisk yer heart away dear
