I hear the click-clack of your feet on the stairs, 
I know your loping stride, babe. 
I`ll be a beast if you just come up stairs, but 
It`s no hanging matter 
It`s no capital crime. 
 
And I can see that you`re just fifteen years old 
But I don`t want your ID 
Don`t look so scared, I`m not not hair-brained bear 
 
And it`s no hangin matter 
It`s no capital crime 
 
CHORUS 
Oh yeah, you`re a strange stray cat, oh yeah, 
Won`t you scratch my back, oh yeah, 
You`re a strange stray cat, I bet, 
I bet your mama don`t know that you bite like that 
I bet your mama don`t  know that you spit like that 
 
You`ve got a friend, you say she`s wilder than you 
Why don`t you bring her upstairs? 
If she`s so wild then she can join in, too-- 
It`s no hangin` matter, 
It ain`t no capital crime 
 
CHORUS 
 
You`re alone so far from home, 
But you don`t really miss your mother 
I`ve been so many times all all alone 
 
But it ain`t no hangin` matter 
It ain`t no capital crime 
 
CHORUS
