Lyrics

"I remember as if 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

"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 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 her way into the delta of the alleyway where the most virile of the young tabbys 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 (no pun intended)
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, the he cat
And that was me

Tommy the cat is my name and I say unto thee..

"Say baby do you wanna lay down by me"
