Ooo-wah, ooo-wah, cool, cool kitty,
Tell us about the boy from New York City.
Ooo-wah, ooo-wah, c'mon kitty, (Oh, Yeah.)
Tell us about the boy from New York City.
He's kind of tall.
He's really fine. (Yeah, yeah.)
Some day I hope to make him mine,
All mine. (Yeah, yeah.)
An' he's neat, an', oh so sweet.
An' just the way he looked at me,
It swept me off my feet. (Yeah, yeah.)
Ooo-ooo-ooo-whee, you ought to come an' see,
How he walks (yeah, yeah),
An' how he talks (yeah, yeah).
Ooo-wah, ooo-wah, cool, cool kitty, (Oh, yeah.)
Tell us about the boy from New York City.
He's really down.
An' he's no clown. (Yeah, yeah.)
He has the finest penthouse,
I've ever seen in town. (Yeah, yeah.)
An' he's cute in his mohair suit.
An' he keeps his pockets full,
Of spending loot. (Yeah, yeah.)
Ooo-ooo-ooo-whee, you ought to come an' see,
His pretty bar an' (Yeah, yeah),
His brand new car. (Yeah, yeah.)

Every time he says he loves me,
Chills run down my spine.
Every time he wants to kiss me, ooo,
He makes me feel so fine, yeah.
Ooo-wah, ooo-wah, cool, cool kitty (Oh. yeah),
Tell us about the boy from New York City.
He can dance,
An' make romance. (Yeah, yeah.)
That's when I fell in love.
With just one glance. (Yeah, yeah.)
He was shy an' so was I.
An' now I know we'll never,
Ever say goodbye. (Yeah, yeah.)
woo-ooo-ooo-whee, you ought to come an' see,
He's the most (yeah, yeah),
From coast to coast (yeah, yeah).
Ooo-wah, ooo-wah, cool, cool kitty. (Oh yeah.)
Tell us about the boy from New York City. (Oh yeah.)
Ooo-wah, ooo-wah, c'mon kitty, (un hunh
Tell us about the boy from New York City. (Un hunh.)
