"You Can't Housebreak A Tomcat" lyrics

"You Can't Housebreak A Tomcat"

You tried chainin' me down from gettin' my kicks
But you oughta know you can't teach an old cat new tricks
It's plain to see that I'm the prowling kind
You can't housebreak a tomcat with tomcattin' on his mind

I've been accused of liking variety
But I guess that proves there's nothing wrong with me
A man can't wear the same shoes all the time
You can't housebreak a tomcat with tomcattin' on his mind

Well, I'm going to the city to meet a little kitty
In a sandbox way downtown
Watch the cat hair fly
If mama passes by
And catches me out cattin' around

Now, there's gotta be more than one way to skin a cat
Baby, you tried skinnin' this one with a baseball bat
With eight lives gone, I'm now on number nine
You can't housebreak a tomcat with tomcattin' on his mind

Well, I'm going to the city to meet a little kitty
In a sandbox way downtown
Watch the cat hair fly
If mama passes by
And catches me out cattin' around

Now, there's gotta be more than one way to skin a cat
Baby, you tried skinnin' this with a baseball bat
With eight lives gone, I'm now on number nine
You can't housebreak a tomcat with tomcattin' on his mind
