JOSIE & THE PUSSYCATS


(Hoyt Curtin/Joseph Roland/Denby Williams) 


Josie And The Pussycats
Long tails an' ears for hats
Guitars an' sharps 'n' flats
Neat, sweet, a groovy song
You're invited, come along
Hurry, hurry,
See ya all in Persia
(or maybe France)
We could be in India
Or per chance
Be with us in Bangkok
Makes no diff'rence
Everywhere the action's at
We're involved with this and that
Come along now
Josie And The Pussycats
No time for purrs and pats
Won't run when they hear "skat"
There's where the plot begins, yeah
C'mon while the good guys win
Josie And The Pussycats
Josie And The Pussycats, yeah 




















JOSIE AND THE PUSSYCATS
(most likely Kay Hanley Letters to Cleo)






Long tails an' ears for hats
Guitars and Marshall stacks

Hot sweet super cool
Don'tcha know these kitties rule

Hurry, hurry
We've been going over the master plan
Driving in a custom, painted van
Practicing for hours
dont'cha know
that soon, no matter where you go we'll be on the radio

Josie and the Pussycats
Hot licks 
we'll give you that
Stone foxes, that's a fact
Josie and the Pussycats

Even though we're playin in our garage,
soon we'll have a massive entourage
Going triple platinum
You'll just watch us
Climbing up the billboards
Breaking records, breaking hearts

(lets go!)
Josie and the Pussycats
Long tails and ears for hats
We know just where it's at
East, west, north or south
Guarented to rock the house
Josie and the Pussycats
Josie and the Pussycats













PRETEND TO BE NICE


Well he looks at me with those innocent eyes
and says it looks like you're wearing some kind of disguise
because your hair sticks up, your shoes are untied
i hope that you got that shirt at half price
and every word i say falls flat on the floor
i try to tell a joke, he's heard it before
and i don't think i can take it no more
he's driving me right out my front door


chorus 1: 
why do you do what you do to me baby
you're shakin my confidence, driving my crazy
you know if i could i'd do anything for you
please don't ignore me, cause you know i adore you


Chorus 2 :
can't you just pretend to be nice
you at least pretend to be nice
if you could just pretend to be nice
well everything in my life would be alriggghht


ooooohooohhhooooohhooooooohoooooohoohohooooooooooooooo


and i tried so hard just to figure him out 
but he won't tell me what he's been thinkin about
and then he falls asleep on the living room couch
with his sunglasses on, his tongue hangin out
then he disappears for a week at a time
and then he shows up, just like everythings fine
i don't get what goes on in his mind
but i'm tired of hearin the same stupid line



Chorus 1:
why do you do what you do to me baby
you're shakin my confidence, driving my crazy
you know if i could i'd do anything for you
please don't ignore me, cause you know i adore you



Chorus 2 :
can't you just pretend to be nice
you at least pretend to be nice
if you could just pretend to be nice
well everything in my life would be alriggghht


ooooohooohhhooooohhooooooohoooooohoohohooooooooooooooo

I don't wanna be your girlfriend

SPIN AROUND


La-La La, La -La La, La-La La, La-La La, yeah...

Spin around come back home 
you're running out on a line
sometimes feel i'm going out of my mind
stunned here waiting for anyone to take  the time

spin around 
we get further and further away
smile and wave
aint got nothin to say
stunned here waiting for anyone to take the time
to change my mind this time

i've been staring at the sun for some time
its gets dark inside, but i don't mind
and if you're gone
it's like i'm going blind,
i can't get by this time

spin around
jump back take another look at yourself
you've been hiding all along on the shelf
frozen, waiting for anyone to change your mind

spin around
come down now, cause it's all gettin clear
everything you ever wanted to hear
ever needed anyone to change our minds
dont' waste our time, we're fine

i've been staring at the sun for some time
its gets dark inside, but i don't mind
and if you're goin inside
dont go in blind 
i can't get by this time

la la la lal la la la la la
lalalal 
yeah

lala la la la lalalallaalla lala

alalallalallaala
yeah
 
spin around and and around and around
never gonna come back down
everything i've lost, i've found
yeah

spin around and around and around
never gonna come back down
everything i've lost, i've found
yeah

spin around and and around and around
spin around and and around and around
spin around and and around and around
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah























3 SMALL WORDS


i'm a punk rock prom queen
brown paper magazine
hotter than you've ever seen
and ever where in between
i'm a ten ticket thrill ride
don't you wanna come inside
a five star triple threat
hardest of the hard to get
no ones little red reprobate
aint seen nothing like me yet

Chorus: 
6 whole hours, 5 long days,
4 all your lives to come undone
and those 3 small words 
were way 2 late
cause you can't see that i'm the 1

i'm your late night head rush
ace high, royal flush
red velvet, orange crush
You just don't oppress me much
a glossy double cover spread
opened up inside your head
a black cherry paradise
half the sugar, twice the spice
i don't wanna treat you nice
come on baby, roll the dice

chorus twice





















YOU DON'T SEE ME



This is the place where i sit
this is the part where i love you too much
this is as hard as it gets
cause i'm getting tired of pretending i'm tough
i'm here if you want me
i'm yours you can hold me
i'm empty and (dtakan) and tumbling

Chorus:
cause you don't see me
and you don't need me
and you don't love me 
the way way i wish you would
the way i know you could

i dream a world 
where you understand 
that i dream a million sleepless nights
but i dream of fire when you're touching my hand
but it twists into smoke when i turn on the lights
i'm speechless and faded
it's too complicated 
is this how the book ends
nothing but good friends

chorus

the way i wish you would

this is the place in my heart
this is the place where i'm falling apart
isn't this just where we met
is this the last chance that i'll ever get

i wish i was lonely
instead of just only
crystal and see-through
and not enough to you

chorus

cause you don't see me
and you don't need me
and you don't love me 
the way way i wish you would
the way i know you could
