It was a night to remember, a fire down below   Couldn't hide from the heat there was nowhere to go   And the cat on the roof, she's running for cover   Deep in the jungle of a hard rockin' summer      I was a young Romeo tryin' to find Juliet   I was hot on the trail of my own silhouette   And the cat on the roof, she's crazy from hunger   She waits in the shadows of a hard rockin' summer      And then the sky started falling and night hit the ground   Thought I heard someone calling, the ghost of a sound   Now that the cat on the roof has captured the hunter   Deep in the jungle of a hard rockin' summer      It was a night to remember, you know what I mean   Now it's late in September and she's just a dream   And the cat on the roof, she's back under cover   And I'm just a prisoner of a hard rockin' summer
