Songtexte Kitty's Back - Live at Capitol Theatre, Passaic, NJ - 9/19/1978 - Bruce Springsteen

It's for all the folks in Philadelphia if they're listening
We know Kitty's back

Catlong sighs holding Kitty's black tooth
She left to marry some top cat, ain't it the cold truth?
There hasn't been a tally since Sally left the alley
Since Kitty left with Big Pretty, things have got pretty thin

It's tight on this fence since them young dudes are muscling in

Jack Knife cries 'cause baby's in a bundle
She goes running nightly, lightly through the jungle
Them tin cans are exploding out in the 90-degree heat
Cat somehow lost his kitty down on Bleecker Street

Well, it's sad, but it sure is true
Cat just shrugs his shoulders, sits back and sighs

Oh, what can I do?
Oh, what can I do?
Oh, what can I do?
Ooh, what can I do?
Hey!

Catlong lies back bent on a trash can
Flashing lights cut the night, dude in white says he's the man
Well, you better learn to move fast
When you're young or you're not long around
Cat somehow lost his kitty down in the city pound

Now listen
Get tight, get right, get down

Here she comes (here she comes)
Here she comes (here she comes)
Here she comes (here she comes)
Here she comes (here she comes)

Here she comes (here she comes)
Here she comes (here she comes)
Here she comes, here she comes, here she comes
Here she comes, here she comes, here she comes
Here she comes, here she comes, here she comes
Here she comes (here she comes)
Here she comes (here she comes)
Here she comes (here she comes)

Kitty's back in town (here she comes now)
Kitty's back (whoa-oh, alright)
Kitty's back in town (here she comes now)
Kitty's back (whoa-oh, alright)

Kitty's back in town (here she comes now)
Kitty's back (whoa-oh, alright)
Kitty's back in town (here she comes now)
Kitty's back in town (whoa-oh, alright)

Cat knows his kitty's been untrue
She left him for a city dude
She's so soft, she's so blue
When he looks into her eyes
He just sits back and sighs

Oh, what can I do?
Ooh, what can I do?
Ooh-ooh, what can I do?
Ooh, what can I do?

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, alright, well, it's alright
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, alright, well, it's alright
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, alright (well, it's alright) say it again
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, alright (well, it's alright) say it, say it again
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, alright, well, it's alright) just a little bit louder
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, alright, well, it's alright) say it, say it, say it again
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, alright, well, it's alright) yes, I gotta get it louder
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, alright, well, it's alright) bring it up, say it up
Just one more time

(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, alright, well, it's alright) hey-hey-hey-hey
Say it, say it, say it, say it again
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, alright, well, it's alright) oh yeah, take it, man
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, alright, well, it's alright)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, alright, well, it's alright) it's alright
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, alright, well, it's alright) it's alright, it's alright
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, alright, well, it's alright)
Let's go

Where are you, Philadelphia?
Kitty's back
