about

Released in 2001 on the band's first full-length album, Pitchin’ Woo!

A simple song about appreciating men for who they are...while chasing them, and sexing them up.

lyrics

TOM CAT

I'm gonna get ya (right now)
You big ol' tom cat (me-ow)
'Cause I sure admire your rough and rowdy ways (woo-hoo!)

I'm gonna get ya (right now)
You big ol' tom cat (me-ow)
And love ya 'til the end of your days

I'll let you chase me 'round the house, dear
I'll be wearing nothing but a smile
When we're done playin' cat n' mouse
We'll get down and dirty for a while

When you're on a tom-cattin' spree
Throw back those drinks, hell, have one for me
I don't mind if a gal's on your knee
'Cause I ain't prone to jealousy

I'm gonna get ya (right now)
You big ol' tom cat (me-ow)
'Cause I sure admire your rough and rowdy ways (woo-hoo!)

I'm gonna get ya (right now)
You big ol' tom cat (me-ow)
And love ya 'til the end of your days

You can tom around all night
I like to watch those gals claw and fight
Try for you as they might, but it just fuels my appetite

I'm gonna get ya (right now)
You big ol' tom cat (me-ow)
'Cause I sure admire your rough and rowdy ways (woo-hoo!)

I'm gonna get ya (right now)
You big ol' tom cat (me-ow)
And love ya 'til the end of your days

Well I see ya slinkin' cross my alley
You're sniffn 'round for a little sin
When you growl and arch your back, slow
I flip the porch light and let you in (so come on in!)

I'm gonna get ya (right now)
You big ol' tom cat (me-ow)
'Cause I sure admire your rough and rowdy ways (woo-hoo!)

I'm gonna get ya (right now)
You big ol' tom cat (me-ow)
And love ya 'til the end of your days

I'm gonna get ya
