Tom Cat


Here's a little story about a cat;
That damn cat wouldn't stand for chat,
That damn cat knew where its at

Now that there fee
Was awfully...
When a young Tom Cat climbed up her tree;
This Tom Cat had style and grace
This Tom Cat had a face to chase

This young skit
Knew how to git
EevvErythang
From stit to bitCat slid

Now that old sow, we called cat ace
She sat in tree, called it her place
And every time Tom slid
Sow Cat itched to have his kid;
Sow Cat purred and Sow Cat co0,
Jimmy cracked corn as Tom Cat flew


And just by chance he peeped her prance
And Sow Cat did a mean 'ole dance

Now Tom Cat jived and Tom Cat Jigged
But this 'Ole Sow...
Had Tom Cat rigged

And So he stammered and then Tom strum
And mad the Sow put feet to drum

Tom played well that game of his
Till one day Tom's Jive turned to jiz
And Sow Cat made her wishes his

Now that's not bad if two for two
The each played tunes that Co0 Cats do

But just like the monkey, that Tom Cat wore,
That damn core thought was true for sure

The game was old, like cop and blow...
Chase a Tom, Catch a Tom, Let...Him...Go...

Still Tom was slick
Mo' den a bit
He knew his name to scheme don't fit

So Tom Cat layed and Tom Cat curled
Cause Mista Line knew its a Tom Cat's world

Early morn as Sow Strut cocked
Tom Cat kicked the Jive...Pulled frock
And said, "Just how slick you be?
Try to make a fool of me

You tried to lay the law down hard
Was almost there, all but a yard
You snuck a Ace, three Jokes to start
While I played 'lil 'ole Jack of Hearts

You cut the cards and cheated, yet
You double dealt to insure wreck,
French cuts and calls of Nig on check
But still there's one thing you forget
Lil 'ole Tom had brought the deck

No matter how, who what or wy,
Ya can't beat the deck my dough did buy

Set all up from get to go
So...
No matter the throw
Tom's in the know

You cheated with rules I wrote myself
Doubled up on Hell and thought it wealth

Now Game is called -- by me Tom Cat."
He spat the chat, then turned to skat


And said, "One final thing, should see,
Ya tree ain't tumble weed to me.
Come morn this 'ole thing hits the ground...
The Man a have it chopped and bound,
And that 'ole Dog will love the sound...
Cuz he just came home from Famine Pound"
