Lyrics Ray Charles – Two Old Cats Like Us
Text:
Charles
Hey, I like to do a little rockin’
Williams
Ray, I get a little rowdy myself
See if you can sing the high part, brother
Charles
Hank, I can if you give me some help
Both:
‘Cause we’re the kind when we set our minds
We’re gonna do it or bust
Hey, we ain’t half bad for two old cats like us
Williams
There ain’t nothin’ like honky tonk music
Charles
Now
Williams
When you get an itching to play
Charles
And singing those songs like ‘Hey, Good Lookin’
Charles
And ‘Baby, Tell Me What I Say’
Williams
That’ll work
Both:
We can take it to the limit
Or take it back to the bus
Ain’t no problem for two old cats like us
We’ve been down a whole lot of alleys
Shook a whole lot of cans
That we don’t understand
Had a few doors slammed on our tails
We’ve been kicked and cussed
But everything’s cool for two old cats like us
Williams
Play a little
Williams
Now this younger generation, Ray
Williams
Is keepin’ us on our toes
Charles
That’s right
Charles
Playing everything from western swing
Charles
To that good ol’ rock and roll
Both:
And here we are smack dab in the middle
But I think we can adjust
Hell, there ain’t nothing new for two old cats like us
Williams
Tell the truth, now
Both:
We’ve been down a whole lot of alleys
Shook a whole lot of cans
There ain’t too much about prowlin’ or howlin’
That we don’t understand
Had a few doors slammed on our tails
We’ve been kicked and cussed
But everything’s cool for two old cats like us
But everything’s cool for two old cats like us
Williams
Let’s go prowlin’
Charles
Alright
Album
