Shadowlike they haunt me at night
  Horrible dreams to grab my sleep
  Whatever I do, wherever I go
  They're always near beside
    If these turn up there ain't no joy
  All I can's detroy
  If these turn up there ain't no joy
  Nothing works to scare 'em away
    [Chorus:]
  Black cats, black cats
  Always getting in my vision
  Black cats,black cats
  An evil omen - Black cats
    Stumbling through the streets at night
  I was overcome again by this bothersome plague
  It didn't come off it's over now
  This was the final show
  If these turn up there ain't no joy
  All I can's detroy
  If these turn up there ain't no joy
  Nothing works to scare 'em away
