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 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
