Jason Segel Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Order chinese food today
Some Mu Shu Pork sauce got away
Flipped the cushion now everything's okay

Cat sitting for Lily's mom,
Cat sitting for Lily's mom
It's gonna be fun, it's gonna bring us all closer together
One more time!

Cat sitting for Lily's mom,
Cat sitting for Lily's mom
It's gonna be fun, it's gonna bring us all closer together

Cat funeral
Cat funeral
It was an accident
And not entirely my fault

Cat funeral




Cat funeral
(I miss you whiskers)
