A mysterious stranger emerges through the fog snapping, the music starts as he continues onward into a night club where the voice over of the singer is finally realized, the lyrics explain the subtle nuances of the song, and alas the stranger disappears into the fog as the music fades out.

Kool Kat
His tuxedo’s on, his tie is tight
It’s gonna be ano-ther long long night
Fog in the air, wipes the brim of his hat
Can’t see his eyes, cause he’s a kool lookin kat
Koooool Kat
It’s foggy outside
Cash or check, Any old time
A Mafia man con-trollin’ crime
Real slick, Does what he wants
Taunts and flaunts all nonchalant
Ask a question he won’t answer
Keep on movin gaillivanter
Stay in doors For your own protection
Better scram He’s in your direction
VIP Of any old joint
Smoke in your face Now you get the point
Koooool Kat
(smoke sound being blown)
It’s foggy outside
Hustle him Then you better split
He’s so sly He knows it’s counterfeit
Double-cross Mac Jack You can’t hide
Don’t cause no trouble It’s a matter’a pride
Next to him You’re a Rag-a-muffin
Look at his eyes he ain’t bluffin
Koooool Kat
It’s foggy outside
Sweet huckleberry (honeysuckle) You just ain’t his bag
Not tonight He called you a cab
Bank is closed If you know what I mean
Scram little pussaay Don’t cause a scene
Koooool Kat
It’s foggy outside
Background singers: He’s a kool kat baby, he’s a kool kat yeah…
He’s a cool cat baby don’t you forget
Does everything without regret
You might owe him money but you’re not in debt
He’s the koolest kat you’ve ever met,
Tilt’s his hat off to the side
Out of his way He won’t break his stride
The street light’s drunk, the gutter envies you
flickerin on and off cause it’s had a few
(scatting)
Kooo-oooool Kat
It’s foggy outsiiiiide (nasally to mimic saxophone)
“You ain’t got nuthin on Koooool Kat…”
