歌詞

He came in late

With rain on his coat

Sat by the sugar jar

And never wrote

Tail like a comma

Eyes like a dare

He stole my ashtray

Then sat like he cared

I said, "Well, hello"

He blinked twice slow

Purring in a minor key

Like he knew me

Black cat at the counter

Black cat, stay awhile

Black cat at the counter

You wear that secret smile

Black cat at the counter

You got me under spell

Black cat at the counter

And I don't mind it well

Don't mind it well

He tapped the glass

With one velvet paw

The barman laughed

Like he'd seen that before

He nipped my ribbon

He drank my stare

Then curled in the corner

Like he lived back there

I said, "Tell me true"

He just preened and drew

A little moon on my sleeve

Made me believe

Black cat at the counter

Black cat, stay awhile

Black cat at the counter

You wear that secret smile

Black cat at the counter

You got me under spell

Black cat at the counter

And I don't mind it well

Don't mind it well

When the room goes thin

And the lamps grow pale

He slips through the silence

Like a late-night tale

One glance, one twitch

One little sway

I swear that cat

Could lead me away

Black cat at the counter

Black cat, stay awhile

Black cat at the counter

You wear that secret smile

Black cat at the counter

You got me under spell

Black cat at the counter

And I don't mind it well

Don't mind it well

Black cat at the counter

Take my heart as well

Black cat at the counter

Oh, what the hell

What the hell
