Adam Ant - Puss 'N Boots Lyrics






Boots... Kitty, Kitty!

Pussycat's going to London
Looking for love and for fame
I wish somebody had told her
City folks ain't the same
Pussycat carries a postcard
Won't the big city be nice
That's the place with the action
She's gonna have her a slice

Pussycat, Pussycat where have you been?
I've been to London, now I'm queen
Sitting pretty, I don't wear suits
And the mice all call me -
Puss 'n Boots

Pussycat laughs at the warnings
Where there's a will there's a way
I think you'd agree if you saw her
Rome's built in a day
Pussycat's read all the papers
Seen the movie and knows
All the streets lead to somewhere
And the pavement's gold

Pussycat, Pussycat where have you been?
I've been to London, and now I'm queen
Sitting pretty, I don't wear suits
And the mice all call me -
Puss 'n Boots

Although you know it's wrong
We must do it everyday
When the morning comes
Don't you turn around and say
It's bound to end in tears
So let's do it anyway

Pussycat wasn't a kitten
And not as dumb as they thought
She had a good head on her shoulders
And beauty that couldn't be bought
The royalty made her an offer
If she'd keep trouble at bay
They'd give her the money and diamonds
Be queen for a day

Pussycat, Pussycat where have you been?
I've been to London, and now I'm queen
Sitting pretty, I don't wear suits
And the mice all call me -
Puss 'n Boots

Pussycat, Pussycat where have you been?
I've been to London, and now I'm queen
Sitting pretty, I don't wear suits
And the mice all call me -
Puss 'n Boots

Adam Ant Puss 'N Boots Comments
  1. E.... M....

    Adam Ant. Wow. Sizzling hot back then. There was probably not a more physically beautiful man back then than Adam. And so talented.

  2. E.... R....

    Brilliant Song, Brilliant Singer

  3. N.... C....

    Adam Ant on bass guitar. Phil Collins on drums.


    How's THAT for a rhythm section?

  4. C.... K....

    This reminds me of the Uptown Rat Downtown Rat post on Tumblr

  5. S.... ....

    2:37 am and blasting this in ithaca 😝

  6. A.... M....

    This video is saved by the very hot girl, (Karen Landau).  It was awful ... even for 1983

  7. P.... V....

    Where have you been. ! YORK Barbican centre 2019. Great gig.

  8. W.... S....

    They just don't write songs like this anymore :)

  9. L.... C....

    Who’s the bird?

    L.... C....

    Karen Landau

  10. e.... ....

    That mouse mask makes Adam look like Clint Eastwood

  11. b.... 9....

    Great ass

  12. L.... M....

    The actor playing the King is the late, great Lionel Jeffries. The girl in the video is Adam Ant's then-girlfriend, Karen Landau.

  13. W.... G....

    Johnny Depp

  14. R.... Q....

    this song is so catchy i-

  15. A.... W....

    those leather pants.

  16. T.... J....

    I went to Plymouth pavilion with my Ex sister in law 2 years ago & saw him in concert & just a week before that with my friend John & saw shaken Stevens. I was a fan of both of them in the 80s.

  17. L.... S....

    "Can't stop Puss-In-Boots! I hope you don't get shot for trying!" -New York Dolls '74

    L.... S....

    And the connection between the New York Dolls and Adam & the Ants was Malcolm McLaren and his girlfriend of the time Vivienne Westwood. They designed the clothes and look for both.

  18. T.... H....

    Reliving my youth. Loving these videos. What an entertainer....

  19. S.... T....

    And that's Lionel Jeffries as the King. He was best known for playing Grandpa Pott's in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, & the Alcoholic Headmaster in Danny The Champion Of The World 🙂

  27. J.... D....

    Sorry, the "Strip" album(his "pop" record) sucked compared to his earlier stuff, and the album right after that "Vive Le Rock", redeemed him

  28. H.... G....

    I asked a lesbian friend once if there was any guy she'd go straight for, without hesitation she said Adam Ant, circa 1983. Though she and I were both into the girl in this vid.

  52. T.... ....

    Adam used to get some hot women in his vids; Mary Stavin, Caroline Munroe ... but I think Karen Landau is my fave.

  58. C.... T....

    God, this and Goody Two Shoes video make me miss the hot looking, hard bodied "80's".
    Now it's how many hard core prison tatts and circus freak piercings,I can have, topped off with 45lbs of excess muffin top gut bulge over two sizes too small spandex.....oh...sorry......"YOGA pants".
    Give me a f'n break kids.
    These were the days of being happy. Even when we had Russia aiming nukes at us. We still had fun, being happy to be alive.
    Now????.......sheesh......kids grab a rifle and go killing their school friends, to get the highest kill score then the last loser.
    OIY!!! (face palm)
