Lucifer Sam, Siam cat Always sitting by your side Always by your side That cat's something I can't explain Ginger, Ginger you're a witch You're the left side He's the right side Oh, no That cat's something I can't explain Lucifer go to sea Be a hip cat, be a ship's cat Somewhere, anywhere That cat's something I can't explain At night prowling sifting sand Hiding around on the ground He'll be found when you're around That cat's something I can't explain
