Mystic creature prowling the night
Gracefully dancing out the light
Slithering between lamps and posts
Mystic creature akin to ghosts

Wandering in, out, out and in
Lost it seems, looking for its kin
Out and about it sees a sign
Wandering creature sees: not one of mine

Fluttering from the south comes a crow
Saying: follow me, I know where to go
Excitedly, creature follows through
Oh what a sad creature, the crow left and flew...

Now back to the alley where this one began
This alley cat who got tired and ran

Alley cat, alley cat, you know where to stay
Here in the dark, where the other cats lay
Alley cat, alley cat, only to you I say:
I wish to be like you; I wish to know my way
