Ty Segall Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Do you want to be a fuzzy cat?
I don't think that I would like that.
Sitting on my big ol' fuzzy chair
I don't think that I would even care.
Fuzzy cat

Fuzzy cat
Fuzzy cat
Fuzzy cat

You can sit upon my fuzzy chair
And pet my oh fuzzy hair
Oh fuzzy cat I love you much
Maybe I can take you out to lunch
Fuzzy cat
Fuzzy cat
Fuzzy cat

Fuzzy cat

Fuzzy cat
