Cat's been a-wailing by my back door
I say don't come around here no more
Cat come to say he wants what's inside
I said I'd take him for a long, long ride

Hey, Diddle Diddle, won't you turn it round?
Hey, Diddle Diddle, better get outta town
Hey, Diddle Diddle, that's all you got
Hey, Diddle Diddle, well, you don't know squat

Don't let the woke cat rock ya
Don't let the woke cat rock ya
Don't let him get inside your head
Lay down and make his bed
Don't let the woke cat rock ya

Cat got a fiddle, played a rеal sad song
Cat told my woman that I done her wrong
Cat come inside with a crazy tunе
Cat said he'd send my lady over the Moon

I said that
Hey, Diddle Diddle, won't you turn it round?
Hey, Diddle Diddle, better get outta town
Hey, Diddle Diddle, that's all you got
Hey, Diddle Diddle, man, you don't know squat

Don't let the woke cat rock ya
Don't let the woke cat rock ya
Don't let him get inside your head
Lay down and make his bed
Don't let the woke cat rock ya

Cat caterwauling and it's no joke
I stepped outside to have for myself a smoke
Next thing I know I heard that door lock
Next thing I know I heard that cat talk

Hey, Diddle Diddle, won't you turn it round?
Hey, Diddle Diddle, better get outta town
Hey, Diddle Diddle, that's all you got
Hey, Diddle Diddle, man, you don't know squat

Don't let the woke cat rock ya
Don't let the woke cat rock ya
Don't let him get inside your head
Lay down and make his bed
Don't let the woke cat rock ya

Don't let the woke cat rock ya
Don't let the woke cat rock ya
Don't let him get inside your head
Lay down and make his bed
Don't let the woke cat rock ya

Don't let the woke cat rock ya
Don't let the woke cat rock ya
Don't let him get inside your head
Lay down and make his bed
Don't let the woke cat rock ya

Come on, I said the woke cat
Skat, the woke cat
Skat, I said, the woke cat
Skat, I said, the woke cat
Skat
