Lyrics

Once upon a time in the land of fever
There lived a scarlet pussy
This kitty cat of fine descent was cherished by her mother
Who wouldn't let another pet her
Unless he was qualified
Every first of the month this pretty feline got the hots
And that's when the neighborhood d-d-dogs
They'd line up around the block
Meow!

When my little scarlet feline roars
The locals come around (come around)
When they see the scarlet light
They know it's time 2 come chase her down (chase her down)

Lo and behold - the fantastical way in which their bodies groove
My scarlet pussy's furry magic alters any mood (scarlet pussy, hey)
It's cool (scarlet pussy, yeah)
Ahh, pussycat, pussycat - wherefore art thou, puppy?

Chorus:
She can make u crazy if u're 2 close 2 her heat
She can make u sad when u're happy as can be
She can make u shoot your ego all over her sheets
All is hers in love and war, my little scarlet pussy

Every dog would try his lines 2 get pussy's attention (hey, baby!)
All they want is so exposed in ways 2 gross 2 mention (eew!)
Green virgin teenager or filthy rich yuppie?
Pussycat, pussycat - wherefore art thou, puppy?
(Scarlet pussy)

She can make u crazy if u're 2 close 2 her heat
She can make u sad when u're happy as can be
She can make u shoot your ego all over your sheets
All is hers in love and war, my little scarlet pussy

Meow {x2}
Now what's going on?
I don't know, man, look out!
Somebody come get this meow-meow off my leg! (purr)
Meow! (hiss hiss!)

Scarlet pussy
Pussycat, pussycat - wherefore art thou, puppy?
Meow

Chorus

All is hers in love and war, my little scarlet pussy

She can make u happy, she can make u sad
She can make u crazy (crazy)
She can make u shiver from your head down 2 your feet
She can make u shoot your ego all over her sheets (oh!)
