Oooh yea yea yea yea hah
You're taking all the sunshine away
Making out like you're the mainline- I knew that
Cos you're a cool cat, tapping on the toe with a new hat
Wooh, just cruising, driving along with the swing king
Feeling the beat of my heart ha hah
Feeling the beat of my heart

Ooh, you're a cool cat
Coming on strong with all the chit-chat
Ooh, you're all right
Hanging out and stealing all the limelight
Messing with the beat of my heart
Ooh, messing with the beat of my heart, yeah

You used to be a mean kid, making such a deal of life- wooh
You were wishing and hoping and waiting to really hit the big time
But did it happen, happen, no You're speeding too fast
Slow down, slow down- you'd better slow down- slow down

Hah, you really know how to set the mood
And you really get inside the groove, yeah
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
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, wooh, feelin' feelin' feelin' it honey feelin' heee hooh

Aceasta piesa simpatica este rezultatul colaborarii dintre Freddie si John pe albumul Hot Space (1982) si este o mica bijuterie in stil disco, cu un "sound" un pic artificial, pigmentat de acordurile sintetizatorului. Linia melodica este delicata si ritmul este usor, dulce, ca o pisica facand pasi mici si tacuti. Versurile sunt elegante si fine, dezvoltand, cu mult umor, comparatia dintre fiinta iubita si o pisica... cocheta ("you're a cool cat, tapping on her toes with a new hat")- si aceasta comparatie nu e de mirare, daca ne gandim ca lui Freddie ii placeau pisicile (cand era plecat in turnee, vorbea cu ele la telefon,iar pisicile lui persane i-au tinut companie pana in ultima zi a vietii). Fiinta iubita este frumoasa, delicata si misterioasa precum o felina, patrunzand usor, dar sigur, in sufletul indragostitului ("you're taking all the sunshine away"), amestecandu-se tainic cu fiinta lui ("messing with the beat of my heart")...
