The Lyrics

Every time I watch a Tom and Jerry toon
It fills me with hostility
Cause I'm the kind of person who loves cats
Instead of mice, so here's my fantasy

When finally Tom gets Jerry
And does he ever give him kicks and hit him with a stick
Until that mouse is black and blue
Or maybe dump the little chump into an envelope and mail him
Straight to Timbuktu
When they met Tom was always the clown
Now that stupid rodent's finally goin' down
He's goin' down

When sweet revenge is the hinge
In the minds of guys like me
Who see the mouse must pay
And when the same old chase replaces
The injustice that takes place
When mouse gets aced today

And finally Tom gets Jerry
And does he ever kick his ass and make him eat Bermuda grass
Instead of yummy cheese
Will Jerry run around
When Tom begins to pound him on the head
With frozen English peas
When they met Tom was always the brunt
Now that stupid mouse is gonna get the punt
Gettin' the punt, bop doo wah

[SOLO]

And when the banquet is laid out without
The stunned and hungry mouse
Who's flung across the yard
The clueless people get to keep all of
Their rich delicious food
And Tom gets his reward

When finally Tom gets Jerry
And do you want to see the cat not told to scat
But growing fat on luscious bowls of cream
The stupid apes at last appreciate their cat is great
The answer, to their fondest mouseless dreams?
When they met Tom was always the chump
Now that stupid mouse is gonna get his lumps
Gettin' his lumps
Gettin' his lumps
Gettin' his lumps
Gettin' his lumps

Uh, in case you didn't notice, Jerry was the hero, and Tom was the villain. Did you root for the Coyote, too? How about Dick Dastardly or the Hooded Claw?

I used to root for Jerry, until I (a) became a cat lover, and (b) found out that rodents in the house aren't really cute!

Porfle - Nice work here. A dream scenario for certain. Michael - I root for Tom, Wiley, Dastardly, etc. but you probably suspected this because I'm a Republican...lol! ;D

I'm with you on this. As a kid, I would root for Tom only to be let down every freaking time. There were few times that Tom got Jerry but they're rarer than decent Cowboys fans and thats saying something.

I love this parody of Tom and Jerry almost as much as the Simpsons parody of Tom and Jerry (Itchy and Scratchy). Great concept. Lots of fun!

I could use Tom. My outdoor cats are not doing well at getting the mice before they get indoors...

That's lovely!

One of my childhood faves that I had not devoted a parody to, once again you and me thinking along similar wavelengths. Great toons..that is until 1976 or so...
Porfle Popnecker - September 23, 2012 - Report this comment
Agreed! Except I'd make that date several years earlier to include the Gene Dietch and even the Chuck Jones ones.

W/X: Just what I've always wanted to see, Jerry get his come-uppance! Mickey Mouse could have been brought down a few pegs as well. Hmm, their both meeces...
Agrimorfee - September 24, 2012 - Report this comment
Porfle, I really love those Chuck Jones ones...especially the ones that didn't really have a plot, just gags built around the core concept of The Chase (as eloquently discussed in The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Movie)... :)
Porfle Popnecker - September 24, 2012 - Report this comment
Peregrin--at least Mickey lived in his own house! Agrimorfee--I thought the Chuck Jones ones were both too cutesy and too similar to Jones' Warner Brothers cartoons instead of the classic MGM Tom and Jerrys. But I didn't care much for Jones' post-40s style in general.

(ABC) Ah Jerry, a fine example of the Designated Hero. Did you ever see that episode set in France where Tom, Jerry and that stupid baby mouse were meant to be protecting the King's food together, then the mice steal the food and Tom is the one who gets beheaded for it? Seriously, Jerry is a major dick in hindsight. Great parody, 555!
brightCAP - September 25, 2012 - Report this comment
The intro stanza effectively sets up the premise and you follow through til the end! My favorite line: "Gettin' the punt, bop doo wah"
Porfle Popnecker - September 26, 2012 - Report this comment
Much appreciated, brightCAP! @bobpiecheese, that one is an especially offensive one to me! And a big inspiration for this parody. Thanks!

I love the title switch nice work! And I agree with most everyone who already commented, I'd love to see a similar one for Wile E. and Road Runner , Itchy and Scratchy and other cartoon rivals. Nice work! (even if I do like the Bloodhound Gang cover over the original version)
Porfle Popnecker - September 26, 2012 - Report this comment
Thanks, AS--I don't know if you remember it but there used to be a T-shirt that showed the coyote wringing the road runner's neck, with the words "Beep Beep, Yur Ass!"

(ABC) I loved the oldie feel this parody exudes. Old song, old cartoon, old school all the way around. I enjoyed it very much.
