I remember this as if it were a [Bbm] mile ago.
[Db] Said Tommy the Cat as he rode [G] back to clear whatever [Abm] foreign matter that may have nestled its way [A] into his mighty foe.
[E] Many a fat alley rat had met his demise while staring point [Bb] blank down the cavernous barrel that saw [B] some prowling machine.
[Ab] Truly a wonder of nature, this urban predator.
[E] Tommy [A] the Cat had many a story to tell.
But it was a rare [Ab] occasion such as this that he did.
[Bb] [A]

[E] Screams slammed on down [A] the alleyway like butter dripping off a hot biscuit.
[E] The aroma of a [Ab] mean scent was a known throughout his mission, even the oldest of the tiger that hung [A] around the hotspot in those days.
The sight was [Ab] beyond belief.
[B] Many a head's step or double, even [A] simple tastes of the vase just behind made their way into the delve of the [Ab] alleyway.
[G] For the most virile young cabbies were [Abm] known to hang out.
They [Db] hung and drooled.
Such a multitude [A] of masculinity could only be found in one place and that was on Malley's Island.
[Am] [E]
The air was a good [C] death hole, no pun intended.
But not even a muscle in her neck did [Ab] convince she sauntered straight into the heart [E] of the alleyway.

She [C] was looking for that [Ab] skiffle.
