Well I don't know where they come from but they sure do come
I hope they comin' for me
And I don't know how they do it but they sure do it good
I hope there doin' it for free

They give me cat scratch fever
Cat scratch fever

well the first time that I got it I was just ten years old
I got it from some kitty next door
and I went to see the doctor and he gave me the cure
I think I got it some more

They give me cat scratch fever
Cat scratch fever
I got a bad scratch fever
The cat scratch fever
It's nothin dangerous
I feel no pain
I've got the choo-choo train
You know you got it when you… you going insane
It makes a grown man cry cry …oh won't you make my bed

well I make the pussy purr with the stroke of my hand
They know they gettin' it from me
They know just where to go when they need their lovin man
They know I doin’ it for free

They give me cat scratch fever
Cat scratch fever
They gotta bad scratch fever
The cat scratch fever
