That Darn Cat
Composer(s): Richard M. Sherman - Robert B. Sherman
Performer(s): Bobby Darin



While a city sleeps, every night he creeps
just surveying his domain
He roams around like he owns the town
He’s the king that makes that claim

He knows every trick, doesn’t miss a lick
when it comes to keeping fat
Some city slicker, no one is quicker than…
That Darn Cat!

Every nook and cranny, and garbage canny
he inspects so thoroughly
When he’s on his rounds, nothing’s out of bounds
to his curiosity

He can smile and purr at a pretty her
til she don’t know where she’s at
Nose like a geiger, oh what a tiger is…
That Darn Cat!

He’s a sly old codger, an artful dodger
a scrounger unsurpassed
A ball of fire, a 9 live wire
Who just can’t be out-classed

Yeah, this midnight rover, he lives in clover
It’s an art he’s got down pat
Never was a greater, smooth operator than…
That Darn Cat!
