lyrics

Nice people stop and stare
At the ladies passing there
The gentlemen like Fred Astaire
At the Black Cat, Cairo

All the ladies look so chic
Grace of feline, soft and sleek
And the patron's so discreet
At the Black Cat, Cairo

Well, camel 'round the pyramids
Boat ride down the Nile
Night back at the Black Cat
Putting on the style

It's the only place to be
If you're busy buzzing like a bee
Many honeyed memories
At the Black Cat back in Cairo

Every night on with the show
The band knows which way to go
Everybody's easy to know
At the Black Cat, Cairo

Officers drink to the health
Of gentlemen of greatest wealth
Fallen comrades and everyone else
At the Black Cat, Cairo

Oh, jibber jabber markets
Hurley burley aisles
Back down to the Black Cat
Another night on the tiles

He's like a sphinx when he's looking upon
All the crazy things going on
But you really can't do anything wrong
At the Black Cat back in Cairo

Nice people stop and stare
At the ladies passing there
The gentlemen like Fred Astaire
At the Black Cat back in Cairo
