Song Lyrics
VERSE 1
Otis the Kitty lives in the city,
Chasing the pigeons and dodging loud cars (HONK!)
Otis the Kitty loves cuddles and kisses
And uses his tongue to do the dishes.
CHORUS
Oh grow, flowers, grow,
Let your smiles show,
For love sustains us don’t you know,
Oh grow, flowers, grow.
VERSE 2
Otis the Kitty now lives in the country,
Climbing tall trees and terrorizing mice (AHHH!)
Otis the Kitty loves being a gardener
And still does the dishes with his tongue.
LAST CHORUS
Oh grow, flowers, grow,
Let your smiles show,
For love sustains us don’t you know,
It springs from roots way down below,
You learn to hold, then let it go,
Oh grow, flowers, grow,
Oh grow, flowers, grow.
