Tom Cat Goodby
Tom Cat Goodby
Rosie Pearl is a big blonde girl,
and she sails around like a Steamboat!
Takes her time, and her eyes... they shine... for... Tom...
Hey there Tom Cat,
where've you been to?
Hey there Tom Cat
say, where've you been to?
I'm so lonely
I been crying - waiting up for you
Ya hear that?!
Ya hear that?!
I got your name Tom
I got your children
What about the children?
Tom cat Tom cat
you old rat - you old rat
Where've you been to?
Johnny cheated, Frankie killed him
Johnny cheated, said Frankie killed him
Shot and killed him
I don't blame her. I'd'a done it too
Ya hear that?!
Ya hear that?!
You deal and promise
You kiss and swing low
Foot slippin' out the window
Tom Cat Tom Cat
you old rat - you old rat
Where've you been to?
You know you're never gonna make a moviemaker, Tom
You know you're never gonna make a moviemaker -TOM!
You know you're never gonna make a moviemaker
Always be a silly faker - Tom - Tom
Never gonna make a movie maker, Tom
oh Tom oh Tom
Never gonna make a movie maker
Never make a movie maker
Never gonna make a movie maker
Always be a silly faker
No, Tom! I can't go on Tom.
I can't keep pushin', and pushin', pushin', pushin' on
Pushin' on
I quit lovin you

Baby, I'm going to the country
