lyrics

(v1)A black cat from who knows where found its way onto our street
Along the way, he cross’d a hundred paths, and we all know what that means.
A strange feeling came upon us all, I knew what was coming our way
(We’d have to) accept the fact, that this cat was black, and here comes the dark days

(Pre) Bad luck, here we go.
Bad Luck, whooaaa.

(V2)A strange man, came to my house, knocked upon my door
And he asked if we’d seen his cat, he wasn’t accounted for.
I said, oh yeah we seen yo’ cat, and it was an unmistakable sign
I wished I’d never seen this evil feline, I wish it didn’t have nine lives.

(Pre)Bad luck, here we go.
Bad Luck, whooaaa

(Ch)Black Cat, are you what you seem?
If so, then stay away from me.
El Gato Negro, I’m scared of you
Black Cat, who are you?

(v3)The strange man, quickly said to us, be careful what you believe
The black cat is misunderstood, It can bring prosperity
If you’re willing to open your mind and change your point of view
Your life will be flush with love and happiness and good things will happen to you

(Pre)Bad luck, here we go.
Bad Luck, whooaaa

(Ch)Black Cat, are you what you seem?
If so, then stay away from me.
El Gato Negro, I’m scared of you
Black Cat, who are you

Guitar riff, solo,

(Ch)Black Cat, are you what you seem?
If so, then stay away from me.
El Gato Negro, I’m scared of you
Black Cat, who are you
