Lyrics
Pussycat:
Even though I try
To stalk and catch and climb
I don’t fit in.
Owl:
Even though I try
To fly with my own kind
I can’t fit in.
Pussycat:
They call me catty
Owl:
They say I’m flappy
Pussycat:
They pull my tail,
Owl:
Throw rocks at my tree.
Pus + Owl
Not welcome in their games/Not welcome in this place
Pussycat:
But, you, I fit in with you.
Owl:
And, you, I fit in with you.
Pussycat:
Meow.
Owl:
Hoot.
