[Intro]
Oooh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, ah
[Verse 1]
Ah, you're taking all the sunshine away

Feeling the beat of my heart

[Bridge]
Ooh, you used to be a mean kid
Mm, making such a deal of life
Ooh, you were wishing and hoping and waiting
To really hit the big time
But did it happen, happen?

Cool cat
Tapping on the toe with a new hat
Ooh, just cruising
Driving along like the swing king
Feeling the beat of my heart
Feeling the beat of my heart, yeah, yeah
[Outro]
Feeling the beat of my heart
Can you feel it?
Feeling the beat of my heart, yeah, yeah
Feeling the beat of my heart
Wooh-ooh
Feelin', feelin', feelin' it, honey

Cool Cat was written by John Deacon & Freddie Mercury.
Cool Cat was produced by Reinhold Mack & Queen.
David sang backing vocals on one of my songs that was on the album, it’s not Under Pressure, it’s another one, but he didn’t like what he did.
