Lyrics

Young Rockin Robin said "Oh mama please,
I'm begging you down on bended knees
I want to go down, want to jump and shout
Down on the corner where the cats hang out
Down on the corner where the cats hang out."

Her mama said "Rockin, you're making me cry,
But a robin's gotta rock, and a bird's gotta fly
(So) before you make the jump and go out rockin’ tonight
It's time I tell you a few facts of life
It's time I tell you a few facts of life

"Cats will be cats, and cats will be cool
Cats can be callous, and cats can be cruel
Cats will be cats, remember these words
Cats will be cats, and cats eat birds
Cats will be cats, and cats eat birds
Ooooo…

"So Robin, get wise, use good sense,
And better brush up on your self-defense
It's a jungle out there, and hunger strikes deep
You better take care, better watch where you sleep
Better take care, better watch where you sleep."

Cuz cats will be cats, and cats will be cool
Cats can be callous, and cats can be cruel
Cats will be cats, remember these words
Cats will be cats, and cats eat birds
Cats will be cats, and cats eat birds
Ooooo…

Young Rocking Robin said "Oh mama please,
I'm begging you down on bended knees
I want to go down, want to jump and shout
Down on the corner where the cats hang out
Down on the corner where the cats hang out."
