Lyrics
Jimmy + the Fat Cat
Midnight at the Fat Cat’s penthouse in the sky
Jimmy, so sharp in his brand new suit and tie
They got down to business
Counting secrets and lies
And the shutters cut the moonlight
Cut it down to size
Fat Cat’s thugs out workin’ the downtown beat
Pushing smack on every busy city street
Jimmy got hooked early
Now he works his fists to pay the price
And that’s how they cut young Jimmy
Cut him down to size
She was the daughter of a rare and honest cop
They met across the counter at a late-night coffee shop
It was Fat Cat’s vendetta
Jimmy for to cap the copper’s child
But her eyes, they cut the moonlight
Cut it down to size
They fell in love and Jimmy kicked the smack
He knew what he had to do so the boy went back
Up to the penthouse
Paid his debts and said goodbye
But the Fat Cat cut young Jimmy
Cut him down to size
