Gene Vincent, real name Vincent Eugene Craddock, (February 11, 1935 – October 12, 1971) was an American rockabillypioneer musician, best known for his hit Be-Bop-A-Lula. He performed with his backing band, the Blue Caps. After Be-Bop-A-Lula had become a huge hit (peaking at #7 and spending 20 weeks in the Billboard Pop Chart), Gene Vincent & the Blue Caps were unable to follow it up with the same level of commercial success, but released critically acclaimed songs like Race With The Devil(#96 in Billboard) and Bluejean Bop(#49). Following a visit to Europe in 1959, Vincent managed to attract a new huge and discerning audience there, especially in England and France. By that time his career had mostly ended in the US.

Cat Man Lyrics

Gene Vincent

Cat mans a-coming, you better look out
Cat mans a-comin, running about
Cat mans a-comin, lookin for a girl
Better hide your sister man!
C is for the crazy hairdo that he wears around
A is for the arms, that hell sneak around your waist
T is for the taste of lips belong to you
Cat man, cat man!
(yeah...git it...go!)
M is for the mean things that this mean man does
A is for a-lot-of hearts that he has ever broke
N is for the names of the list you may be on
Cat man, cat man!
(rock!)
Cat man a-lookin for a woman all day long
Ah-better watch out cause he is in you midst
Ah-better watch out cause or youre gonna be kissed
Better watch out cause he is in you midst
Cat man, cat man! (yeah)
Better watch out cause Im the cat man
Cat man!
