Shadowlike they haunt me at night 
Horrible dreams to grab my sleep
Whatever I do, wherever I go 
They're always near beside 

If these turn up there ain't no joy
All I can's detroy 
If these turn up there ain't no joy
Nothing works to scare 'em away 

[Chorus:]
Black cats, black cats
Always scary, how do I lose em'
Black cats,black cats
An evil omen - Black cats 

Stumbling through the streets at night
I was overcome again by this bothersome plague
It didn't come off it's over now 
This was the final show 
If these turn up there ain't no joy
All I can's detroy 
If these turn up there ain't no joy 
Nothing works to scare 'em away
