Big Jack Knife cries cause baby's in a bundle She goes runnin' nightly, lightly through the jungle And them tin cans are explodin' down in the ninety degree heat Cat somehow lost his baby down on Bleeker Street
Dm7 [N.C.] It's sad but it sure is true
Cat shrugs his shoulders, sits back and sighs
Chorus:
Ooh what can I do, ooh what can I do?
Ooh what can I do, ooh what can I do?

Catlong lies back bent on a trash can Flashin' lights cut the night into white cities of neon [?] Well you better move fast when you're young or you're not long around Cat somehow lost his Kitty down in the city pound
So get right, get tight, get down
(4:45):
Well, who's that down at the end of the alley
She's been gone so long
(Here she comes, here she comes, here she comes, here she comes) the whole gang is watching her
(Here she comes, here she comes, here she comes, here she comes)
| Kitty's back in town (here she comes now) | [4X] | Kitty's back in town (oh, oh, all right) |
When he looks into her eyes he just sits back and sighs
Coda (5:40):
Ooh what can I do, ooh what can I do? Ooh what can I do, ooh what can I do? Oh oh oh oh oh, all right (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, all right, ooh all right) [4X] (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, all right, oh all right) [6X; fade 6th time]
