Tommy The Cat

"Well, I remember it as 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 way into the delta of the alleyway

where the most virile of the young tabbys were known to hang out

They hung out 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 straight to the heart of the alleyway

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?

Baby, do you wanna lay down with me?

Say, baby

Say, baby
