Catgut is a type of cord that is prepared from the natural fibre found in the walls of animal intestines. Catgut makers usually use sheep or goat intestines, but occasionally use the intestines of cattle,hogs, horses, mules, or donkeys. Despite the name, catgut manufacturers do not use cat intestines.
The word catgut may have been an abbreviation of the word "cattlegut". Alternatively, it may derive by folk etymology from kitgut or kitstring—the word kit, meaning fiddle, having at some point been confused with the word kit for a young cat.
To prepare catgut, workers clean the small intestines, free them from fat, and steep them in water. Then they scrape off the external membrane with a blunt knife, and steep the intestines again for some time in potassium hydroxide. Then they smooth and equalize the intestines by drawing them out. Lean animals yield the toughest gut. Next, they twist the prepared gut strands together to make string. String diameter is determined by the thickness of the individual guts, and by the number used. A thin string, such as a violin E, uses only three or four guts, whereas a double bass string may use twenty or more. After twisting and drying, workers polish the strings to the required diameter.

Yeah, the streets are full
And the crowds they are out on the town
And I'm feeling so high
I'm going out with the world tonight
With the shake of the skin
Lady luck she aint waiting for him
And the beat of the drum
Man I don't think I'll ever be done, no
We're alright, we're ok
We're alright
We all on the street and we're making our way
I'm feeling so high
I'm going out with the world tonight
And we're making our way
Down the streets where the people play
With the shake of the skin
Lady luck she ain't waiting on him
And we all getting locked
In the clubs with funk and the rock
Gotta go now baby don't go
We're alright
Gotta go now baby don't go
We're okay
Gotta go now baby don't go
We're alright
We all on the street and we're making our way
