The Most Effectual Top Cat Lyrics

Top Cat, the most effectual
Top Cat, whose intellectual
Close friends get to call him T.C

Providing it's with dignity

Top Cat
The indisputable leader of the gang
He's the boss, he's the pip
He's the championship
He's the most tip top
Top Cat

Yes he's the chief, he's the king
But above everything
He's the most tip top
Top Cat

Top Cat

(Repeat)

  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

Genius Annotation

Top Cat was a Hanna-Barbera cartoon, from the 1960s, which was based on the characters in The Phil Silvers Show

In the UK, the cartoon’s title was changed to Boss Cat as there was a cat food product available in the country at the time called Top Cat. The theme tune, however, remained the same, which kind of made the change pointless.
