tommy the cat

Singer:primus

well

i remember it as though it were a meal ago

said tommy the cat as he reeled back to clear whatever foreign matter may have nestled its way into his mighty throat

many a fat alley rat had met its demise while staring point blank down the cavernous barrel of this awesome prowling machine

truly a wonder of nature this urban predator

tommy the cat had many a story to tell

but it was a rare occasion such as this that he did

well

she came slidin' down the alleyway like butter drippin' off a hot biscuit

the aroma

the mean scent

was enough to arouse suspicion in even the oldest of the tigers that hung around the hot spot in those days

the sight was beyond belief

many a head snapped for double - even triple - takes as this vivacious feline made her way into the delta of the alleyway where the most virile of the young tabbies were known to hang out

they hung in droves. such a multitude of masculinity could only be found in one place

and that was o'malley's alley

the air was thick with cat calls

but not even a muscle in her neck did twitch as she sauntered up into the heart of the alley

she knew what she wanted

she was lookin' for that stud bull

she was lookin' for that he-cat

and that was me

tommy the cat is my name and i say unto thee

say baby do you wanna lay down with me

say baby do you wanna lay down by my side

hey baby do you wanna lay down with me

say baby

say baby
