(You’re a) Pussycat
You're a pussycat
With such a fine tail
A pussycat
So don’t give it away
Meow
You're a pussycat
Don't let them tell you you’re not
You're a pussycat
It's in the way you walk
But all those things about you
Make them need to have you
They'll take away
One by one
I'll pluck out those whiskers
Lick my thumbs
And gently rub off that nose
You've got a way to go now
That's too far to see
I'll do to you
What they’ve done to me
But all those things about you
Make them need to have you
They’ll take away
All those things about you
Make them need to have you
They'll take away
Ex-ladies’ man
Strutting 'round the lawn
Six meals a day
From five different doors
Well, they loved me then
They sure loved me then
They cut off my ears
With their garden shears
Meow
Pussycat
I'll always be there for you
To put my arms around you
Cos you're my pussycat
But all those things about you
Make them need to have you
They’ll take away
All those things about you
Make them need to have you
They'll throw them down
Rubbed in the ground
They'll tell you you're not a pussycat at all
Cos those tongues are barbed, baby
There's no losing them when they're inside you
Meow
Me and you will make it somehow
