Lyrics below:
The Indians send signals from the rocks above the pass
The cowboys take position in the bushes and the grass
The squaw is with the corporal, she is tied against the tree
She doesn't mind the language, it's the beating she don't need
She lets loose all the horses when the corporal is asleep
And he wakes to find the fire's dead and arrows in his hats
And Davy Crockett rides around and says it's cool for cats
It's cool for cats (cool for cats)
The Sweeney's doing ninety 'cause they've got the word to go
They get a gang of villains in a shed up at Heathrow
They're counting out the fivers when the handcuffs lock again
In and out of Wandsworth with the numbers on their names
It's funny how their missus always look so bleeding same
And meanwhile at the station there's a couple of likely lads
Who swear like, "How's your father?" and they're very cool for cats
They're cool for cats (cool for cats)
To change the mood a little I've been posing down the pub
On seeing my reflection, I'm looking slightly rough
I fancy this, I fancy that, I wanna be so flash
I give a little muscle and I spend a little cash
But all I get is bitter and a nasty little rash
And by the time I'm sober I've forgotten what I've had
And everybody tells me that it's cool to be a cat
Cool for cats (cool for cats)
Shape up at the disco and I think I've got a pull
I ask her lots of questions and she hangs on to the wall
I kiss her for the first time and then I take her home
I'm invited in for coffee and I give the dog a bone
She likes to go to discos but she's never on her own
I said I'll see you later and give her some old chat
But it's not like that on the TV when it's cool for cats
It's cool for cats (cool for cats)

In my family we were talking about my nephews music taste and whats on offer for him in the current Top 10. I liked a lot of the music in it, I'm not going to trash it or condemn it, there was lots of good music in there, maybe I couldn't relate to it like him but I wasn't going to write it off. So we compared what was in the charts when we were his exact age. I had..Blondie, Gary Numan, Squeeze, Elvis Costello, Ian Dury, some stuff from the Grease soundtrack, Bee Gees, Boomtown Rats, Cliff, The Stranglers, Kate Bush..the list went on and on. It was hard not to be a little bit smug. Maybe in 40 years time I'll be humbled by how many of his Top 10 went on to immortality. But I'll be 91 by then and probably won't care.

this era was the end of Britain (as we thought we knew it.(oh how profound is thee)). It was Englandograd. British industry was ruined. The empire was long dead. Thatcher and co. were loading weapons and preparing for the massive counter-assault. Within a decade teenagers were going to raves, taking E, loving acid house, jungle, drum 'n bass and boys knew that being a DJ was very cool for cats and this kinda stuff was for grandparents. The very thing we thought was kind of neat - the street corner naff slice-o-life attitude of this song was transparent irrelevant to them. I thought this was cool but only understood a few lines of the last verse..disco, girl, wall, home, dog, bone, nasty rash, fail, reality is different from TV.

Saw it once in a music program in 1979 and fell in love with the dancing girls. Their dance is so energetic! I have been looking for it for a long time.

I was in Willesden Green in 1984, half a world away from home, no money, and having a great time, and my love of Squeeze was a key thing that brought me to London. London became home, still is, but I'm now half a world away in Boston. Listening to Squeeze makes me cry now.

Seems there are a lot of comments of people not understanding the song, or complaining about the bridge, or saying that it's just a plain bad song. I don't see what's wrong with it. I like it a lot. It's a quirky, new wave/post-punk song, and I think it's really fucking cool. Maybe I'm just weird, but that bridge is really explorative and I like the way the song just sort of falls apart and gets really spacey and airy. I guess not everyone is cool for cats.

I suppose it makes sense that people don’t get it, I mean most of the song is composed of (predominantly cockney) slang, and a good portion of it is also innuendos. I mean, I didn’t get a lot of the references until I was in my late teens, and I’m very familiar with slang originating from in and around London, as it’s where I’m from, and my mum filled in any gaps that I would have had from growing up abroad.
