G
Ooh I got a busted wing and a hornet sting
                         C F C F C F C  G 
Like an out of tune guitar
Am                    G  C
Ooh she got Hercules on her side
                  G
And Diana in her eyes
G
Some men like the Chinese life
                      C F C F C F C  G 
Some men kneel and pray
Am                     G  C
Ooh well I like women and I like wine
                               G
And I've always liked it that way
F  C     G        C   G
Always liked it that way

Chorus:
D              G
I can't dig it, the way she tease
D                         G
That old tough man routine up her sleeve
C                  D
Living and loving, kissing and hugging
Em                        C              G
Living and loving with a cat named Hercules
   F    C    G  C G
A cat named Hercules

Oh, and it hurts like hell to see my girl
messin' with a muscle boy
No Superman gonna ruin my plans
Playin' with my toys
Rich man sweatin' in a sauna bath
Poor boy scrubbin' in a tub
Me, I stay gritty up to my ears
Washin' in a bucket of mud
Washin' in a bucket of mud

Chorus:
I can't dig it, the way she tease
That old tough-man routine up her sleeves
Livin' and a-lovin', kissin' and a-huggin'
Livin' and a-lovin' with a cat named Hercules
A cat named Hercules

But I can't dig it, the way she tease
That old tough-man routine up her sleeves
Livin' and a-lovin', kissin' and a-huggin'
Livin' and a-lovin' with a cat named Hercules
A cat named Hercules

A cat named Hercules
A cat named Hercules
A cat named Hercules
(Oh, yeah)
(Yeah, yeah)
