about

Every town has its misfit outsider, the person that just can't adapt to the modern times, and lives on the fringes. Everyone in town knows the person, and everyone has a story about them. They'd call the authorities to come in and 'help' the individual, but they ultimately don't because they know deep down that it would only bring confusion and sadness to them by dragging them away from the only world they know. So instead it's live and let live, and maybe help a little when you can. They're harmless enough, in spite of what the neighbor whose cat ran away says.

LYRICS

Tom Tom Greedy Gut
Greedy Gut Greedy Gut
Tom Tom Greedy Gut
Never satisfied
Tom Tom Greedy Gut
Greedy Gut Greedy Gut
Can't get enough
For to feed his appetite

Built like a rail
With a bowling ball belly
Got his finger in the jelly jar
Scrapin' down the sides
Tom Tom Greedy Gut
Barefoot in the parking lot
Help you with your bags but
He won't look you in the eye

Tom Tom Greedy Gut
Greedy Gut Greedy Gut
Tom Tom Greedy Gut
Never satisfied
Tom Tom Greedy Gut
Greedy Gut Greedy Gut
Can't get enough
For to feed his appetite

Sitting on a stump
Biting on a head of lettuce
Drinking cream from a carton
Eating beans from a can
Picking corn in a field
Chasing minnows in the lake or
Climbing halfway up a tree
Poking a beehive with a rake

Hey!

Tom Tom Greedy Gut
Greedy Gut Greedy Gut
Tom Tom Greedy Gut
Never satisfied
Tom Tom Greedy Gut
Greedy Gut Greedy Gut
Can't get enough
For to feed his appetite

Can't look at a circle
Without thinking 'bout a donut
No he can't look at a crow
Without thinking 'bout a pie
Tom Tom Greedy Gut
Sneaking 'round the Pizza Hut
Sniffing 'round the back door
Waiting for a sign

Tom Tom Greedy Gut
Greedy Gut Greedy Gut
Tom Tom Greedy Gut
Never satisfied
Tom Tom Greedy Gut
Greedy Gut Greedy Gut
Tom Tom Greedy Gut
Keep your cat inside
