Spoken:
i've got an old tom cat
and when he steps out
(1)
all the other cats in the neighborhood
they begin to shout
There goes a ring tail tom
struttin' round the town
(2)
and if you got your heat turned up
you better turn your damper down
Ringtail tom is a star
he's a boss around this town
he don't allow no other tom cats
come pussy footin' around
Ringtail tom on the fence
little pussy cat on the ground
ringtail tom com-a-off-a that fence
they start rousin around
Ringtail tom is a star
he's a natural born crack shot
he finds a new target every night
and he sure does practice alot
(instrumental)
Repeat 1
repeat 2
And if you got your heat turned up
you better turn your damper down
