    Lyrics

    Well, I don’t know where they come from but they sure do come
    I hope they comin’ for me
    And I don’t know how they do it but they sure do it good
    I hope they’re doin’ it for free

    They give me cat scratch fever
    Cat scratch fever

    Well, the first time that I got it I was just ten years old
    I got it from some kitty next door
    An’ I went to see the doctor and he gave me the cure
    I think I got it some more

    They give me cat scratch fever
    Cat scratch fever
    I got a bad scratch fever
    The cat scratch fever

    It’s nothin’ dangerous
    I feel no pain
    I’ve got the choo-choo train
    You know you got it when you, you’re going insane
    It makes a grown man cry, cry, oh won’t you make my bed

    Well, I make the pussy purr with the stroke of my hand
    They know they gettin’ it from me
    They know just where to go when they need their lovin’ man
    They know I’m doin’ it for free

    I give them cat scratch fever
    Cat scratch fever
    They got a bad scratch fever

  • 3. Death By Misadventure
    Lyrics

    Hear him on the radio. See him on the news
    See him on the TV. Y’a hear him sing the blues,
    Welcome to his nightmare He’s been through the mill
    Death by misadventure. A case of overkill

    He stayed awake ’til daylight, didn’t believe in health
    He never saw the sunrise, didn’t believe in wealth
    Wrote dramatic music, was a rollin’ stone
    No one understood him, they just left him alone

    Hear him on the radio. see him on the news
    See him on the tv, hear him sing the blues
    Welcome to his nightmare he’s been through the mill
    Death by misadventure, a case of overkill

    Death by misadventure
    Death by misadventure
    Death by misadventure
    Death by misadventure
    Death by misadventure
    Death by misadventure
    Death by misadventure
    death by misadventure

  • 4. Live It Up
    Lyrics

    We need the time to rock away
    A little work and then some play
    Workin’ hard to feel good
    Now it’s time to really live it up

    Can’t you see, I’m hap happy
    I just can’t stop, Got to live it up

    Now’s the time for really gettin’ it down
    Ain’t no need in you hangin’ around
    Skin to skin is how it should be
    It’s tough to touch everything that I see

    Can’t you see, I’m hap happy
    I just can’t stop, Got to live it up

    Sure been fun but it’s time to go
    Just so we take you where you want to go
    The sled outside ‘ll take too long
    ‘Cause we can rock and light a song

    Can’t you see, I’m hap happy
    I just can’t stop, Got to live it up

    Got to live it up
    Got to live it up

  • 6. Workin’ Hard, Playin’ Hard
    Lyrics

    Man started out with it in a cave
    They’re runnin’ home, nobody’s safe
    Left with a note, all alone
    Only wanted to have a happy home

    Now it’s my turn to show my stuff
    It’s sometimes fun and sometimes rough
    I’m workin’ hard to earn my way
    But, lucky me, my work is play

    Workin’ hard, playin’ hard
    Helps me get thru each day and night
    Workin’ hard, playin’ hard
    Makes everything all right

    I’m here to sow my wild seed
    I don’t want much just what I need

    Workin’ hard, playin’ hard
    Helps me get thru each day and night
    Workin’ hard, playin’ hard
    Makes everything all right

    I’m here to sow my wild seed
    I don’t want much just what I need

    Workin’ hard, playin’ hard
    Helps me get thru each day and night
    Workin’ hard, playin’ hard
    Makes everything all right

  • 8. A Thousand Knives
    Lyrics

    You’ve been getting desperate
    Scratching at my wall
    Suicidal misfit
    it’s time you took your fall

    I’ve ducked a lot but like a thousand knives
    Their cutting into you babe
    It happens to you everyday

    I was just a schoolboy
    Doing as I please
    Young girls in the classroom
    They was putting on the squeeze

    I’ve ducked a lot but like a thousand knives
    Their cutting into you babe
    It happens to you everyday

    I’ve ducked a lot but like a thousand knives
    Listen to what I say
    The time has come for you to pay

    Now I won’t listen to your two cents
    To run and hide is your only defense
    A thousand knives, oh yeah

    Now your on the rebound
    You know just how it feels
    A copulated misfit
    With the good housekeeping seal

    I’ve ducked a lot but like a thousand knives
    Their cutting into you baby
    It happens to you everyday

    Now I won’t listen to your two cents
    To run and hide is your only defense

Cat Scratch Fever was Nugent's third album, and featured vocal contributions from Derek St. Holmes, who also sang on Nugent's first album before being replaced by Meat Loaf for the second: Free For All.

What is Cat Scratch Disease?

It is a disease that is caused by the infection of Bartonella bacteria which is transmitted by cat bites and scratches. It is abbreviated as CSD and it is otherwise known as Cat scratch fever or Bartonellosis. The bacteria live in the cat’s saliva and may have the tendency to carry if for a couple of months or so until it spreads to others via physical contact. The person, who has the disease condition, usually complains of having a history of being bitten or scratched by a cat, most often a kitten. Studies show that young cats, specifically kittens, are often the ones to carry such bacteria compared to older cats. Also, household kittens are the high rates of acquiring the infection. The rate becomes higher if the cats have a presence of fleas. It is self limited and common syndrome. It may otherwise be due to lick, bite or scratch of the cats. Children are often the targeted persons or the persons who often have this kind of disease condition.

Hence, as young as they are, they must be taught to handle their pet cats gently and appropriately to prevent such disease to occur.

They can do by telling them to wash thoroughly their hands after touching or playing with any cats. If in any instance, the child had been bitten or scratched by a kitten, there is a need to consult a trusted physician to help deal with such matter on hand. Also, the first aid to do, when a child or a person is scratched or bitten by a cat, is that you need to wash it off by the use of running water and soap.
