Who wouldn't ever wanna get fat
So she ate a feather pillow, yellow willow
A furry furry furry furry furry furry furry little fellow

Exercising all day
She never could swim in the beach it seems
Infested with jelly like fishes, no Mellotron wishes
The cat and the pillow and the jelly like fishes

I used to have a cat
Who wouldn't ever wanna get fat
So she ate a feather pillow, yellow willow
A furry furry furry furry furry furry furry little fellow

Exercising all day
She never could swim in the beach it seems
Infested with jelly like fishes, no Mellotron wishes
The cat and the pillow and the jelly like fishes

I used to have a cat
Who never ever wanna get fat
So she ate (nine, ten) a feather pillow, yellow willow
A furry furry furry furry furry furry furry little fellow

Exercising all day
She never could swim in the beach it seems
Infested with jelly like fishes, no Mellotron wishes
The cat and the pillow and the jelly like fishes
The cat and the pillow and the jelly like fishes
The cat and the pillow and the jelly like fishes
The cat and the pillow and the jelly like fishesYou might also likeEmbed
