It may be quite simple now that it's DONE I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind that I put down in Words how WONDERFUL LIFE
is while your in the WORLD I think I'll go for a walk outside now,
The summer sun's calling my name, I hear it now.
I just can't stay inside all day,
I've got to get out, gimme some of those rays.
Everybody's smiling (sunshine day),
Everybody's laughing (sunshine day),
Everybody seems so happy today in the sunshine day.
Oooh. Can't you dig the sunshine?
Feel the sun and the rays.
Can't you hear it calling your name
Love, love me do
You know I love you
I'll always be true

Someone to love
Somebody new
Someone to love
Someone like you

I saw her face, it was a FACE I LOVED and I KNEW...I hope I hope
you don't mind that I put down in Words how WONDERFUL LIFE is
while your in the WORLD!! I'm sleeping
And right in the middle of a good dream
Then all at once I wake up
From something that keeps knocking at my brain
Before I go insane
I hold my pillow to my head
And spring up in my bed
Screaming out the words I dread ....
"I think I love you!" (I think I love you)
I think I love you! I don't know what I'm up against
I don't know what it's all about
I've go so much to think about
Hey! I think I love you!
Oh Mickey, you're so fine, you're so fine you blow my MIND! HEY MICKEY! WALK into a crowded room, I see you there and I'm HYPNOTIZED. You turn and look at me. LOVE WHEEL SPINNING ROUND ROUND ROUND ROUND! CAN'T YOU SEE BABY I'M CRAZY FOR YOU! You'd think that people would have had enought of silly love songs.
But I look around me and I see it isn't so.
Some people wanna fill the world with silly love songs.
And what's wrong with that?
I'd like to know, 'cause here i go again
I love you, i love you,
It isn't silly, no, it isn't silly, love isn't silly at all.
How can i tell you about my loved one?
I'm just a love machine
And I won't work for nobody but you
I'm just a love machine. My friend the witch doctor, he taught me what to say
My friend the witch doctor, he taught me what to do
I know that you'll be mine when I say this to you. I want you to want me
I need you to need me
I'd love you to love me
I'm beggin' you to beg me. Good day sunshine
Good day sunshine. You know you're
Gonna have to face it, you're addicted to love. I told the witch doctor I was in love with you
I told the witch doctor you didn't love me too
And then the witch doctor, he told me what to do
He said that ....
Ooo eee, ooo ah ah ting tang
Walla walla, bing bang
Ooo eee, ooo ah ah ting tang
Walla walla, bing bang
EEP OPP ORK AH-AH - EEP OPP ORK AH-AH
MEANS WE LOVE U! I need to laugh, and when the sun is out
I've got something I can laugh about
I feel good, in a special way
I'm in love and it's a sunny day
Good day sunshine
Good day sunshine
We take a walk, the sun is shining down
Burns my feet as they touch the ground
Good day sunshine
Good day sunshine I thought love was only true in fairy tales
Meant for someone else but not for me.
Love was out to get me
That's the way it seemed.
Disappointment haunted all my dreams.
Then I saw her face, now I'm a believer
Not a trace of doubt in my mind.
I'm in love, I'm a believer!
I couldn't leave her if I tried.
Na na na naa, na na naa na naaa
Na na na naa, na na naa na naaa.
WALK into a crowded room, I see you there and I'm HYPNOTIZED. You turn and look at me. LOVE WHEEL SPINNING ROUND ROUND ROUND ROUND! CAN'T YOU SEE BABY I'M CRAZY FOR YOU! BANG SHANG A LANG, BANG BANG! I'm in love, I'm a believer! I couldn't leave her if I tried. Na na na naa, na na naa na naaa Na na na naa, na na naa na naaa. EEP OPP ORK AH-AH - EEP OPP ORK AH-AH

Thanks to BECKY VILLASENOR for the new photos. Our cats at our studio flee as fast as their paws can carry them when we start to play. Are they voicing an opinion? We need a needlepoint picture on the wall that says "Litterbox, Sweet Litterbox".

LYRICS TO DEVIL CAT!
little devil cat
furry little horns
Chasing angel rat
Through roses and thorns
Can we live by the sea
Just us three
Writing silly poetry
You, devil cat and me
Big warrior cat
Chasing butterflies
A leaf falls from the tree
You run and hide
My sweetest friend
With a devil grin
Chasing squirrels in the yard
Look a spider in the woodpile
I’ve waited my whole life
For something to believe in
Then you stumbled in
I hope you stay for
More than a minute
little devil cat, little devil cat
little devil cat
furry little horns
Sitting on our laps
Growing old on the porch
Can we live by the sea
Just us four
Devil cat, you, me
and angel rat
Forever
