The tab
4 = blow hole 4-4 = draw hole 4’ = bend
He goes on the prowl each night
Like an alley cat
Looking for some new delight
Like an alley cat
She can't trust him out of sight
There's no doubt of that
He just don't know wrong from right
Like an alley cat
He meets 'em
And loves 'em
And leaves 'em
That's what "Cat-sa-no-va" does
It's no way to treat a pal
She should tell him "Scat!"
Aren't you sorry for that gal
With her alley cat?
instrumental interlude
He meets 'em
And loves 'em
And leaves 'em
That's what "Cat-sa-no-va" does
He don't know what faithful means
There's no doubt of that
He's too bus,y ,makin' scenes
Like an alley cat
And that's the sad, sad tale of a lone-some frail
And her alley cat.........
