The Cat And The Rat (BBC session August 1969) Songtext
von Family

Well you can kick at a cat, stamp on a rat
But you bet your sweet life you won′t make it
Yeah the odds are against, it's a barbed wire fence
And you′re caught by the ass, you can't shake it
You get the cat and the rat if you've got a big sack
Beat ′em to death in your own little trap

Well you′re caught in a storm, your shoes they got worn
They're insane at the rain, they can′t break it
Yeh, you think of the ones, the impotent Johns
And you're glad you′re alive and can shake it

Well you're caught in a storm, your shoes they got worn
They′re insane at the rain, they can't break it
Yeah, you think of the ones, the imponent Johns
And you're glad you′re alive and can shake it


Well you can kick at a cat, stamp on a rat
But you bet your sweet life you won′t make it
Yeah the odds are against, it's a barbed wire fence
And you′re caught by the ass, you can't shake it
You get the cat and the rat if you′ve got a big sack
Beat 'em to death in your own little trap

Well you′re caught in a storm, your shoes they got worn
They're insane at the rain, they can't break it
Yeah, you think of the ones, the imponent Johns
And you′re glad you′re alive and can shake it

Well you're caught in a storm, your shoes they got worn
They′re insane at the rain, they can't break it
Yeah, you think of the ones, the imponent Johns
And you′re glad you're alive and can shake it

You can shake it!
