lyrics

Ol’ Cat’s Eye was a reverend
And he liked to sing the blues.
He had long long legs
And big black shoes.
When Cat’s Eye was a baby,
His mom said, “Son,
You’re gonna show this world
Just how it’s done!”
That ol’ reverend he knew how…
How to shake it… shake it down!
Stop and listen while I tell you
About The Reverend’s band.
They were the best damn group
In all the land.
When they banged out the tunes,
They burned up the night,
And they wouldn’t stop
Until the morning light.
One fine day down on the street,
The Reverend met
A little girl so sweet.
She was a Detroit girl
With soft brown skin.
She had a bangin’ image
And a devilish grin.
And, every night,
They had a real good time
And he loved that woman
And she looked so fine.
But then she left him high and dry.
Even took his shoes
To remember him by.
A broken hearted reverend
Announced a plan to throw a ball,
And the place was packed
From wall to wall.
When the band started playin’
There was such a din,
The reverend stamped his
Foot and the roof caved in!
I was there that night
When the building fell
And I saw The Reverend
Raise some hell.
I sat right down and put my
Face in my hand
And I thanked the Lord for
Reverend Cat’s Eye
And his down and dirty band.
