Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Oh, that front porch cat, she's a real mean one
Got a mouse out there, and she's havin' some fun
We call out her name, we plead and we beg
But she scuttles away, like a sly little egg
[Chorus]
Front porch cat, won't you please come on in
We'll give you some milk, we'll call it a win
But you're out on the hunt, roamin' all night long
And now we're stuck singin' this bluesy song
[verse 2]
She's a sly one, oh, that little porch cat
With her soft jazzy fur and her love for scat
Got the night on her side, and she knows it well
Got us wrapped 'round her paw, with her own little spell
[Chorus]
Front porch cat, won't you please come on in
We'll make up your bed, and call it a win
But you're tailin' mice out there all night long
And again we're stuck singin' this bluesy song
[Bridge]
Now the moon is high, and the crickets sing
The night is alive, and the darkness brings
worlds of mystery -- swingin' cats will roam
But we're still on the porch, wishin' she'd come home
(Little porch cat, won't you please come in)
[Chorus]
Oh front porch cat, won't you please come on in
We'll give you some love, and we'll call it a win
But you're out trackin' mice, huntin' all night long
And still we're stuck singin' this bluesy song
[Verse 3]
We'll keep callin' her name, till the break of dawn
Hope she'll tire of the hunt, and her mouse be gone
Such a stubborn one -- she's makin' us bleary
An' she's stalking that mouse until she's worn and weary
[Verse 4]
So now here we sit, on this peeling front porch
And we're toasting the stars, with a shot of remorse
while our front porch cat, out there all alone
well she'll hunt down her mouse till the break of dawn ...
