Lyrics: Jerry Leiber, Mike Stoller
Music: Jerry Leiber, Mike Stoller
In the 2007 KPFA Marathon, David Gans played a studio outtake from 10 November 1976
where Jerry Garcia fools around with a fragment of this song:
What is the secret of your successAlso played by Bill Kreutzmann's Allstars in 1984
The way you walk and talk and dress
You're so polished in everything you do
All the cats from town are imitating you
You got me puzzled, now come on, confess
What is the secret of your success
You're a devil with the women, but they all call you a saint
Some cats got it, and some cats ain't
What is the secret of your success
The way you walk and talk and dress
You're so polished in everything you do
All the cats from town are imitating you
You got me puzzled, now come on, confess
What is the secret of your success
How come you make all the little girls sing
Some cats got it and some cats ain't
I see you driving in your Rolls Royce car
You are then smoking up a dollar cigar
Every Friday night you're out with the movie star
Who point at you and say you sure go far
Just a year ago you were in an awful mess
What is the secret of your success
You're a devil with the women, but they all call you a saint
Some cats got it, and some cats ain't
In all the fancy places they've heard of your fame
They bring the bill and you just sign your name
When yoy crack a joke, everybody laughs
All the girls are begging for your autograph
You done throw up the country from East to West
What is the secret of your success
You've been able to achieve what most folks can't
Some cats got it, and some cats ain't
