If You Can't Bite, Don't Growl (1966)
I whistled at a pretty girl on a corner down town
She saw me when I winked my eye and then she turned around
She came and took me by the arm I told her I didnât mean no harm
She said to me with a certain kind of scowl
If you donât mean it then donât whistle if you canât bite donât growl
One night I left the wife at home and went out with the boys
I was acting like a Don Juan and making a lot of noise
A go-go girl caught my hand I said I canât Iâm a married man
She said if you ainât gonna steal you better not prowl
Donât dosie-do with a go-go if you canât bite donât growl
I went home to the little wife and grabbed her at the door
I kissed her like a mad man and let out a lion roar
I jumped down from the chandelier and beat my chest and said come here
She said if you canât hunt you better not howl
Iâm a wompus kitty and a mean mama if you canât bit donât growl
I jumped down from the chandelier and beat my chest and said come here
She said if you canât hunt you better not howl
Iâm a wompus kitty and a mean mama if you canât bit donât growl
