A C A C
The word that I heard, it's all over town
A C A C
I hear it clear from everyone who's ever been around
D
Say you been acting like a ride-on-the-whirl
A C A
While your mouse stays at the house like a lonely little girl
D E A
Mmmmm, baby, you had to mess up such a sweet old thing
D E A C
And I sure do hate to be a drag, baby, but the cat's out of the bag
A C A
The cat's out the bag
Speedy Gonzales on a winning street
How I hate to spoil it, but you finally sprung a leak
Hate to bust that bubble, baby, turn your stick to stone
But you should really turn around and drag your tail on home
Oh, you had to mess up such a sweet old thing
And I sure do hate to be a drag, baby, but the cat's out of the bag
D A
Don't talk about it baby, don't you spout it off at work
D A
When all your little girlfriends on the side call you a jerk
D A
I hate to bust your bubble baby, turn your stick to stone
D E
But you should really turn around and drag your tail on home
Don't you never underestimate the power of a mouse
Cause she turns into a tiger when you leave her at the house
She'll cut your heart out, darling, she'll cook it in a stew
She'll go out that very night and find somebody new
Oh, you had to mess up a sweet old thing
And I sure do hate to be a drag, baby, but the cat's out of the bag
