I've got an old Tom Cat
And when he steps out

All the other cats in the neighborhood
They begin to shout 

There goes a ring tail Tom
Struttin' round the town 

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 coma-offa 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

All the other cats in the neighborhood
They begin to shout 

And if you got your heat turned up
You better turn your damper down 

And if you got your heat turned up
You better turn your damper down
