Lyrics
Orange cat on the harbour wall Walking slow, he owns it all Past the ropes and the sleeping boats Past the lamps and the coats Dock cat, dock cat Midnight rounds Dock cat, dock cat Not a sound Stops to look at the water black Looks at me, then he looks back Tail up high like a flag Nothing in his bag Dock cat, dock cat Midnight rounds Dock cat, dock cat Not a sound Somebody leaves a bowl Somebody leaves a light He walks the whole night long And all is right Dock cat, dock cat Midnight rounds Dock cat, dock cat Not a sound Dock cat, dock cat Midnight rounds
