You can't housebreak a tom cat

Baby you tried chaining me down from getting 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 tomcatting on his mind

Well 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 tomcatting 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 momma passes by
And catches me out cattin' around

Well there's gotta be more than one way to skin a cat
Baby you try skinning this’en 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
