Tommy the Cat

[Intro: Les Claypool & Tom Waits] 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 [Verse 1: Tom Waits] Well, she came sliding on 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 tabbies 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 [Verse 2: Tom Waits] The air was thick with catcalls, no pun intended But not even a muscle in her neck did twitch as she sauntered straight to behind the alleyway She knew what she wanted She was looking for that stud bull She was looking for that He-cat And that was me Tommy the Cat is my name and I say unto thee [Chorus: Tom Waits] Say baby, do you wanna lay down with me? Say, baby, do you wanna lay down by my side? Ah, baby, do you wanna lay down with me? Say, baby Say, baby [Chorus: Les Claypool] Say, baby, do you wanna lay down with me? Say, baby, do you wanna lay down by my side? Ah, baby, do you wanna lay down with me? Say, baby Say, baby Say, baby, do you wanna lay down with me? Say, baby, do you wanna lay down by my side? Ah, baby, do you wanna lay down with me? Say, b-b-b-b-b-b-b-baby Say, baby, do you wanna lay down with me? Say, baby, do you wanna lay down by my side? Ah, baby, do you wanna lay down with me? Say, baby Say, baby [Chorus: Les Claypool] Say, baby, do you wanna lay down with me? Say, baby, do you wanna lay down by my side? Ah, baby, do you wanna lay down with me? Say, baby Say, baby Say, baby, do you wanna lay down with me? Say, baby, do you wanna lay down by my side? Ah, baby, do you wanna lay down with me? Say, baby Say, baby Say, baby, do you wanna lay down with me? Say, baby, do you wanna lay down by my side? Ah, baby, do you wanna lay down with me? Say, baby Say, baby
