ALLEY CATS - by Ray O'Bannon


hot stuff and you're new in town
hit the streets, take a look around
lotsa tinsel, lotsa lights
lots of sirens in the night
plan to make yourself a name
keep it trendy, play that game
just gotta hang with the proper crowd
drop a name but not too loud

and you can keep that plastic smile
but I'll be laughin' all the while

Chorus:
out back with the alley cats
too cool for the social brats
down low gonna catch some rats
ain't no aristocrats in the alley

got the big bucks rollin' in
so strategic, bound to win
just gotta stay in the public eye
climb the charts while they bleed you dry
all the way to number one
try to buy yourself some fun
no friends when you get the blues
came all this way to lose

and you can keep that plastic smile
but I'll be laughin' all the while

(chorus)
(chorus)
out back with the alley cats
out back with the alley cats
out back with the alley cats
out back with the alley cats
meow
