Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

What's new pussycat whoa
What's new pussycat whoa oh

Pussycat, pussycat, I've got flowers
And lots of hours to spend time with you
So go and powder your cute little pussycat nose
Pussycat, pussycat, I love you yes I do
You and your pussycat nose

What's new pussycat whoa
What's new pussycat whoa oh oh

Pussycat, pussycat, you're so thrilling
And I'm so willing to care for you
So go and make up your big little pussycat eyes
Pussycat, pussycat, I love you yes I do
You and your pussycat eyes

What's new pussycat whoa
What's new pussycat whoa oh oh

Pussycat, pussycat, you're delicious
And if my wishes can all come true
I'll soon be kissing your sweet little pussycat lips
Pussycat, pussycat, I love you yes I do





You and your pussycat eyes whoa
You and your pussycat nose

As time goes by and soulful music like this fades, only to be replaced by manufactured junk, humanity fades with it.

We need to stay focused.

Stay together.

Keep humanity alive.

Keep the message of Bob alive.

For humanity.

I am. I was a HUGE fan in my late teens in the 70's of Bob Marley, still am. I had all his albums in vinyl. Lol .Going through a tough, serious illness, and I'm here reminiscing. My soul feels better, lighter, listening to his music. He had such wisdom. It saddens me to see all the divisiveness in the world today. He was truly a force for good. โค

@SuenosDeLaNoche

Still sounds as good as it did way back then. Irie!
