TOMCAT

Wrote this song in 1975 for a musical that was never produced.

The 'Tomcat' character, a dark presence within it, was a pimp. Thus, the questionable narrative.

Once again, Hannah offered to create a new video to go with the song. And the right one could have made it pretty popular, I reckon. However, in these 'woke' times, would the right video have attracted the wrong kind of attention?

Maybe after Trump is inaugurated, and (hopefully) things lighten up, I'll let her and Frank do something.

We'll see.

HANNAH: Hold you to that, Daddy! 👍

"Late at night, (echoed)
Out on the town, (echoed)
Some little lady needs lovin',
I'll be around.
This little lady got me figured
She knows just where I'm at,
That little lady lost her heart
To this old Tomcat.

Hey, Tomcat! Ah, ha?
Hey, Tomcat! Oh, yeah, yeah!
Hey, Tomcat! All right.
Hey Tomcat! OK.
She says you're one to blame!
Oh, oh, oh, that's a shame!
Hey, Tomcat! All right.
Hey Tomcat! OK.

Take a stroll (echoed)
Down my favourite hall.(echoed)
All the pussies turn to look my way,
Gonna have me a ball.
The one in the blue jeans
Up against wall,
She'll be my tricksy, kitty-cat kitten
In no time at all!

Hey, Tomcat! All right.
Hey Tomcat! OK.

Well, I step so light, (echoed)
Then I step so mean. (echoed)
She says I'm the cutest little bop, bop, bopper
She's ever seen.
She's a red hot Momma
But she's actin' green,
Pretty baby gonna be your king,
If you will be my queen.

Hey, Tomcat! All right.
Hey Tomcat! OK.

The boys sit in the corner,
Looking kinda sly,
But he don't mind no uncool Tomcat
Givin' him the evil eye.
The boys are acting nonchalant,
Hoping they'll impress.
But in their hearts they envy him
The secret of his success!

Take you home, (echoed)
In my big old car. (echoed)
Plenty of room for two,
Forget your Ma, forget your Pa. Hey, Tomcat. she's squealing with delight.
So sweet and just sixteen
And, oh boy, she squeeze me tight!

Hey, Tomcat! Ah-ha,
Hey Tomcat! OK.

Now she's out, (echoed)
Playing the easy game. (echoed)
Just another for this old tomcat,
Oh, you know they're all the same.
Got a string of sexy, kitty cat kittens,
Working round the clock,
Making lots of spending money
To keep this cat on top.

Hey, Tomcat! Ah, ha?
Hey, Tomcat! Oh, yeah, yeah!
Hey, Tomcat! All right.
Hey Tomcat! OK.
She says you're one to blame!
Oh, oh, oh, that's a shame!
Hey, Tomcat! All right.
Hey Tomcat! OK."
