Cats Under the Stars Songtext
von Jerry Garcia Band

Cats down under the stars
Cats down under the stars

Cats on the blacktop, birdie in the treetop
Someone plays guitar that sounds like a clarinet
I ain′t ready yet to go to bed
Think I'll take a walk downtown instead

Cats down under the stars
Cats down under the stars

Cats on the bandstand, give ′em each a big hand
Anyone who sweats like that must be alright
No one wants to fight, no black eye
Just another cat beneath the stars tonight

Cats down under the stars
Cats down under the stars


Cats in the limelight, feels like it's alright
Everybody wants something they might not get
I ain't ready yet, it ain′t come to these
That′s why I am heading down to the alleycat street

Cats down under the stars
Cats down under the stars

Satin blouse unbuttoning
Satin blouse unbuttoning
Time's a stripper, doing it just for you
Time′s a stripper, doing it just for you
(Just for you)

Just for you
Just for you
Just for you
Just for you

Dark in the brass tacks, cover up your tracks, Jack
You ain't nowhere ′til you can pay your own way back
What else do you lack to make it right
Are cats down under the stars tonight?


Cats down under the stars
Cats down under the stars
Cats down under the stars
