Went home last night, heard a noise, I asked my wife what was that 
Said man don't be so suspicious, that ain't nothin' but a cat 
Lord I traveled this world all over mama, takin' all kinds of chance 
Travelin' this world all over mama, takin' all kinds of chance 
But I never come home before, seein' a cat wearin' a pair of pants 
Lord I wouldn't call him cat man, if he'd come around in the day 
Wouldn't call him cat man, if he'd come around in the day 
But he waits till late at night woman, when he can steal my cream away

Lord I want that cat man to stay away from my house, oh Lord when I'm out 
'Cause I believe he's the cause of my woman, wearin' the mattress down 
Said I went home last night, actin' just quiet as a lamb 
Said I went home last night, actin' quiet as a lamb 
I never raised no stuff man, till I heard my backdoor slam
