You’re my cute black cat
the red ribbon becomes you well
but sometimes you get your claws out
and upset my feelings

[Chorus:]
Tango tango tango of the black cat
my sweetheart’s a black cat
Tango tango tango of the black cat
capricious as the eyes of a cat

la la la la la la. la la

When a lovely thing like you walks the streets
I bet the bad tomcats are hitting on you
their eyes popping out over this yummy catch
who will know even if you’re crying

(chorus)

When the night lights go out
your eyes shine like silvery stars
sparkling eyes of a black cat
the night will always belong to you

(chorus)

Sparkling eyes of a black cat
the night will always belong to you

Tango tango tango of the black cat
my sweetheart’s a black cat
but if you’re too naughty
your dried mackerel dish will have to wait

la la la la la la meow
