Scaredy Cat Songtext
von Joe Gideon

Scaredy cat, where did you go?
Scaredy cat, what do you know?
You were hidin′ in the bushes
When the shows turned to pushes
Scaredy cat, where did you go?
Your courage deserted you so
When all the shouts turned to screams
You fell apart at the seams
Scaredy cat, what good are you?


Scaredy cat, what will become of you?
They hung your brother from the ceiling
You were good at leaving
They lit their torches but they couldn't find you
You swore that you would not be afraid
And now you′ve got yourself a new name
As sure as day follows night
Where were you to fight the fight?

Scaredy cat, scaredy cat
Scaredy cat, scaredy cat

What makes the Hottentot hot?
What puts the ape in apricot?
A frolic in a frock?
What's the stuff that you are not?
What hides you into all of your tomorrows?

Scaredy cat, scaredy cat
Scaredy cat, scaredy cat
Scaredy cat, scaredy cat
Scaredy cat, scaredy cat
