Cat
M.Mann And Others Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

She threw back that shiny hair
Like the mane on a Delta queen
Gonna spend my last dime on a telephone call
Cos' she's the wildest thing I've ever seen

She was just plain mister once
Got herself fixed up real good
Just a little boy lost in the land of the free
A wiggle and a walk away from womanhood

Now they call her the cat
And that's a stone fact
They took a little of this
She got a little of that
Now Billy got a kitty
He got something to scratch
So they call herΓ’?Β¦
Yeah they call her the cat

She just does that double act
She got Babs and Joan down pat
She got hips like Mick, she's a Rolling Stone
Never seen a woman shake like that

She was just plain mister once
Got herself fixed up real good
Just a little boy lost in the land of the free
A wiggle and a walk away from womanhood

Now they call her the cat
And that's a stone fact
They took a little of this
She got a little of that
Now Billy got a kitty
He got something to scratch
So they call herΓ’?Β¦
Yeah they call her the cat

She's so fine that the water line
Don't separate hot and cold
She got stitched up bitchy by an old M.D
Now she's headed out to Hollywood or so I'm told

Now they call her the cat
And that's a stone fact
They took a little of this
She got a little of that
Now Billy got a kitty
He got something to scratch
So they call herΓ’?Β¦
Yeah they call her the cat

And that's a stone fact
They took a little of this
She got a little of that
Now Billy got a kitty
He got something to scratch




So they call herΓ’?Β¦
Yeah they call her the cat

Overall Meaning

The song "Cat" by M. Mann And Others has a clear focus on the persona of Cat, the main character of the song. The opening lines describe Cat's hair as shiny and compares it to the mane of a Delta queen. The singer then says that he would spend his last dime to call her because she is the wildest thing he has ever seen. These descriptions give an idea of how captivating and magnetic Cat is to those around her.


The next two paragraphs provide more details about Cat's story. She used to be a boy, who then underwent a transformation and "got herself fixed up real good," becoming a woman. The lyrics seem to suggest that Cat is very confident in her sexuality and her ability to perform, as she can mimic the likes of Babs, Joan and Mick Jagger. The final lines of the song suggest that Cat has aspirations to go to Hollywood, which may mean that she wants to be a star or actress.
