Story Behind the Song
Its an amusing song about Tom cats.
Lyrics
I really do love that old tom cat of mine,
He's a real tabby shaggy top tom cat,
The biggest tom around,
Biggest tom around
With wild green sparkling eyes.
He hangs about all the back street fish-mongers
Picking out scraps, picking out scraps
From dustbins and lanes.
He goes out on the tiles most nights
Painting the town red,
Completely red all around.
He chases every female she
Over garden walls, over garden walls,
Right out of sight.
Leader of the Pack, Leader of the Pack,
Top Tom Alley Cat!
He cries and he waits for his bait,
He knows it's easy
But then it's sleazy.
He purrs then he hisses,
He pounces then he misses.
Leader of the Pack, Leader of the Pack,
Top Tom Alley cat!
Meow, meow, me-ow!
