The Cat With 9 Wives Songtext
von Brian Setzer

I got one-two-three-four
Five-six-seven-eight-nine wives
I got one-two-three-four
Five-six-seven-eight-nine wives
I got one-two-three-four
Five-six-seven-eight-nine wives

Wife number one was Annabelle Jones
A red-haired beauty, mostly skin and bones
She liked to play the ponies, I met her at the track
When I hit the pick six, I forgot to go back

Bride number two was Pretty McGee
She loved the outdoors and she sure loved me
We married on a mountain that was covered in snow
When the weather cleared up, it was time to go


I got one-two-three-four
Five-six-seven-eight-nine wives
I got one-two-three-four
Five-six-seven-eight-nine wives
I got one-two-three-four
Five-six-seven-eight-nine wives

Wives three and four were identical twins
They were from the twin cities, named Lucy and Lynne
I wed one in the spring and one in the fall
They had a sister named Lola, I loved best of all

Sylvia Smith was the fifth of the bunch
A curvy little waitress that I met over lunch
She loved to eat, but she hated to cook
One night after dinner, I decided to book

I got one-two-three-four
Five-six-seven-eight-nine wives
I got one-two-three-four
Five-six-seven-eight-nine wives
I got one-two-three-four
Five-six-seven-eight-nine wives

Six, seven and eight I cherished them all
They came in medium short and tall
We had nothing but joy, fun and games
But for the life of me now I can′t remember their names


The best for last, you're number nine
We walked down the aisle, and I′m walkin' the line
We'll last forever, this ain′t no fling
′Cause just in case, I've got an extra wedding ring

I got one-two-three-four
Five-six-seven-eight-nine wives
I got one-two-three-four
Five-six-seven-eight-nine wives
I got one-two-three-four
Five-six-seven-eight-nine wives
I got one-two-three-four
Five-six-seven-eight-nine wives

I got one-two-three-four
Five-six-seven-eight-nine wives
I got one-two-three-four
Five-six-seven-eight-nine wives

Three, four
That′s it?
