Alice Cooper - Gutter Cats Vs. The Jets Lyrics






I met an alley cat pussyfootin' around 'till the break of dawn
Found me knocked out flat on my head
Some feline beauty waved her tail my way
I just had to stay I couldn't get the blood off my hands
She made my eyes bug out her tail stand up
And I ain't even in heat for a month meow
House cat you really got it made
Sleepin' all night and perfect delight of day
Some feline beauty waved her tail my way
I just had to stay I couldn't get the blood off my bed
She made my eyes bug out her tail stand up
And I ain't even in heat for a month meow
Some bad cats from fourth street come down to our alley
Well we say that's cool but just stay away from me and my boys
Eyes clash and claws slash and green eyed fur goes flyin'
Midnight cat fight neck bite die
When you're a jet you're a jet all the way
>From your first cigarette till your last dyin' day
When you're a jet let 'em do what they can
Little boy you got friends you're a family man
The jets are in gear they're always well respected
You're never alone when company's expected you're well protected
Here come the jets like a bat out of hell
Someone gets in our way someone don't feel so well
When you're a jet you stay a jet wow

    My dear mom, we were very poor, sacrificed so that I could own the Alice Cooper sound of the Gibson SG, her dream...son, follow your dream..I did and would find most of my musical ideas in Masters Degree from this band..why aren't they more recognized? I'm a believer!

  12. K.... F....

    Where is the video to go with this story??? K

  13. K.... F....

    My wife says that she liked Leonard Bernstein's contribution to this! More than a little ironic. Karl

  14. K.... F....

    We don't need to go status quo, but we need to take care of the country including the sick and the poor.

  15. K.... F....

    Bad Boys! K

  25. G.... G....

    Dennis dunathing is a great bass player

  26. R.... ....

    Micidiale Alice. Una mistura potente di veleno, vetriolo e napalm. Ma anche autoironico, per questo sincero. Rock On Alice!

  27. p.... l....

    my class, class of seventy three. before he sold out, to me their BEST ALBUM was LOVE IT TO DEATH. right before this one.

  28. M.... C....

    Green WB label with the report card and paper panties. Bought it when I was 9 or 10 years old.

    M.... C....

    OMG YES YES! SAME!!!

    M.... C....

    @Christopher Roberts Same here you old mothers fers...

  29. L.... W....

    I was just wondering if there were on Warner Brothers at this time with the Warner Brothers logo on the album cover or the Warner Brothers re get onto the app and this is what really broke up what was it because the billion dollar baby tour after this that sucks because of Warner Brothers are not the ones that put this album out I would like to know somebody give me some input thank you very much

    L.... W....

    They were on WB at the time. WB didn't have anything to do with their breakup - they were  happy to promote the record and count the money rolling in. Pressure to tour relentlessly and make hit records as soon s they were off the road led to substance abuse and creative burnout...like most bands had. You need to remember that bands back then recorded at least and album a year, sometimes two or more...unlike today when a gap of years in-between is normal.

  30. L.... W....

    I f****** love this song Point Blank West Side Story meets East Side West at its best you cannot say the need to not tell you so don't ever forget the coop.....

  31. E.... ....

    Bad cats from 4th street lmao

  32. M.... P....

    The Intro of this Tune is awesome - The Voice by Alice Cooper is pretty dirty and perfect for this Tune.

  33. T.... B....

    When you're a Jet you're a Jet all the way from your first cigarette to your last dying day.

    T.... B....

    You know that this is a tribute to West Side Story.
    Even the earlier album Easy Action title is a quote from the movie.
    In a scene before a rumble, one of the gang, nicknamed Action, gets a little too "heated" and the leader says to him, "Easy, Action."

  34. J.... L....

    Celebrating Leonard Bernstein's 100th birthday.

  35. J.... Z....

    THAT BASS!

  36. S.... ....

    WAS taken down TYVM from lists due to bullshit and sounds like shit here !!!!

  37. K.... R....

    Masterpiece

  38. j.... z....

    I met an alley cat pussyfootin' around 'till the break of dawn
    Found me knocked out flat on my head
    Some feline beauty waved her tail my way
    I just had to stay I couldn't get the blood off my hands
    She made my eyes bug out her tail stand up
    And I ain't even in heat for a month meow
    House cat you really got it made
    Sleepin' all night and perfect delight of day
    Some feline beauty waved her tail my way
    I just had to stay I couldn't get the blood off my bed
    She made my eyes bug out her tail stand up
    And I ain't even in heat for a month meow
    Some bad cats from fourth street come down to our alley
    Well we say that's cool but just stay away from me and my boys
    Eyes clash and claws slash and green eyed fur goes flyin'
    Midnight cat fight neck bite die

    I went to a Catholic school and in 7th grade the design of the heart with a dagger through it was carved on inside of my desktop. When I was in 8th grade they replaced all the school desks and the students could buy them for a dollar. I hunted up that desk and bought it and that desktop hung on my bedroom wall through high school.

    C.... W....

    That's a great story!

  40. D.... L....

    Was on the flipside of "School's Out" 45.

  41. N.... D....

    Goofy lyrics but the music is great,especially the bass ..

  42. w.... ....

    GO SHARKS !

  43. D.... M....

    Heard this when I was 12 or 13 years old... early 70s ... wasn't mature enough to get it but knew is was great..... figured it out with age ...lol

    D.... M....

    i was 9 or 10

  44. L.... M....

    ONE. OF. THE. BEST. BANDS. EVER!

  45. c.... m....

    my obsession with this band was my mother's worry in '72. she was right, because I'm still a mess !

    c.... m....

    Sorry to hear that, this album & other early Alice helped me Cope with my Family & Lack of Culture & Intelectualism militaristic herd mentality hierarchy form of Indoctrination in Highschool.

    c.... m....

    Then we are two, but heck we live our rockstar lifes as we learnt them
    *passes over*

    c.... m....

    Me2....hehehehehe...

    c.... m....

    Do you still go out a-trappin and tanning their hides?

    c.... m....

    Just thinking the same thing.... I was an 11 year old girl suddenly into Alice Cooper, David Bowie, and Black Sabbath. But look how I turned out, Ma!! :-) #pierced #tattooed #guitargrrrl #grandma #raisingtwomoregenerationsofsame eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeyes. ;-)

  46. G.... M....

    Possibly the best song of all time...

    G.... M....

    Really? That good? Okay!

  47. B.... T....

    HOUSE CAT........YOU REALLY GOT IT MADE!!

  48. M.... H....

    MEOW ! meow ! meow !

    M.... H....

    Never was a House cat he he he

  49. j.... r....

    Hey! They left the fight at the end out!?

    j.... r....

    The fight is the next track called "Street fight" I believe.

  50. F.... A....

    Like ALICE? Check out GLITTER DOGS. 70's style rock
    Album: COLORS THAT FADE
    real drums, guitars. No auto tune! YouTube Spotify iTunes

  51. O.... G....

    "Some bad cats from 4th Street come down to our alley. Well we say that's cool but just stay away from me and my boys". Cheers!

    O.... G....

    That line popped in my head tonight while at work.
    SOON AS I got home I jammed it out.
    TWICE!!!
    LOUDLY

    O.... G....

    Sure like this is going to work out really well! K

  52. W.... E....

    This track desperately needs the accompanying "Street Fight" to follow it!

  53. 3.... P....

    maybe Coop's greatest mini opera. he has several.

    3.... P....

    320 Parks idig the tune from west side story.

  54. B.... T....

    This is gold.

  55. C.... L....

    The first album I purchased!

  56. D.... D....

    one of my favs .reminds me of West side Story.

    D.... D....

    Donald Davis gee I wonder why?

  57. p.... g....

    Damn the original band were so talented. Dunaway's bass riffs on this album really stand out.

    p.... g....

    t bone the bassist for the trash tour did this song justice

    p.... g....

    alice ran off taking the name, stage act, songs and one of the managers.

    p.... g....

    He wasn't just whistling dixie ,he always came to play!

    p.... g....

    I dont think anyone really reacted on the level this band was, but as the years pass, it hurt me more n more to know
    as back then so much quality music was made that not even themselves really understood their level.
    I was scared for our loved Dennis in the beginning :)
    i love hes evil look

  58. G.... M....

    in my humble opinion this is second only to 'Desperado' in the annals of Best Alice Cooper songs...

    G.... M....

    With an assist from Leonard Bernstein.

  59. S.... W....

    This tune is such a classic; the entire album has that West Side Story theme throughout. All of The Coops albums from Easy Action (not fully schooled on Pretties for You) through Muscle Of Love with this original line up are fantastic. Cranked this album on the last day of school from 7th grade through high school.

    S.... W....

    The only thing really notable about Pretties For You is the track "Reflected", which is an early version of the hit "Elected".

    S.... W....

    actually the song "fields of regret" is a masterpiece. give it another listen

    S.... W....

    pretties for you was awesome.

  60. J.... S....

    Dunaway is absolutely amazing on this.

    J.... S....

    Yes James Sullivan; Dunaway is off the hook and drives this tune from the very beginning…I concur.

    J.... S....

    One of the most underrated bass player of all time in my opinion.

    J.... S....

    As a fellow bassist, I agree 100%. Very innovative playing. I wonder where he got the inspiration for some of the more offbeat stuff, like this.

    J.... S....

    Dennis Dunaway is an awesome bass player

    J.... S....

    And I love the way he looked like a zombie. Without any makeup - just straight-up the way he really looked!

  61. e.... p....

    I carved the double D's in the desk.This song ends before it's over. ...........Abrupt stop.

  62. t.... ....

    I still have an original copy of this album with the paper panties wrapped around the album

    t.... ....

    diane wilson it already is. The first pressing with the panties and the fold out desk sides on the back cover is worth about $180. It will probably never go any higher in value. It’s had 45 years to get to that point. I don’t see the supply or demand changing that much in the future.

    t.... ....

    Bob was a genius on the cover art of this album specially with the panties what the f*** is great was a 13 year old boy again and got to open the plastic and smell that vinyl and then smell those anyway you know saying marketing geniuses love the bands attack on the world at the time too bad they cannot do more but I think it was getting a little bit too theatrical I see a movie bootleg in Paris I think of this show didn't do a lot is black and white but he was doing the whole stick on stage it was becoming more of a Vaudeville I understand specially in Paris he hangs from a noose in the band becomes the pirates of the stage and they go in ramp it detail with gutter versus the Jets and start having knife fights not ruin knife fights of course but you know is called Shakespeare LOL thanks for the time to put in all of your ideas

    t.... ....

    Punctuation Police just had a heart attack. But yeah, this band knew what "presentation" was, from the stage show to the album itself.

    t.... ....

    Fudge, i must put in a pair of my Y-fronts - for some compensation atleast

    t.... ....

    @AlbredaWelde :) The charm and genrousity of surprises come with many albums was also something people today never can understand..and the smell of albums <3

  63. i.... 0....

    I played this album on my fold up turntable with a penny taped above the needle to weigh it down

    i.... 0....

    Heavy grind tracking no doubt

    i.... 0....

    inthesurf 07 I don't understand what this is I'm new comer

    i.... 0....

    i had to use a nickel

    i.... 0....

    I did that too. Until I got a real stereo. My earlier albums are pretty bad. Had to replace some of them years later.

    Do you know the relationship between a cassette tape and a pencil?
