[Verse 1]
I love you, baby, 'cause you're back in time
I love you today
Your eyes are flashing like a magic sign
The sun comes out to play
[Chorus]
I learned it all from you, girl, I got it all from you
How to howl the moon, yeah, and how to scratch a dog
I do it every day, come back again tomorrow
You chase it all away
[Verse 2]
A dreaming beauty sleeping day and night
The sun around you
I love you, baby, yeah, you're super fine
A-coming down too
A-purring whirring fuzzy lights of day
A-switching sunlight
I chase you, kitten, catch you every time
Funny how it flies
[Chorus]
I learned it all from you, girl, I got it all from you
How to howl the moon, yeah, and how to scratch a dog
I do it every day, come back again tomorrow
You're chasin' life away
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
I hear you purrin', girl, in super soul
A-puff in to it
A puss in leather, yeah, a prince in gold
A-leather tale away
[Chorus]
I learned it all from you, girl, I got it all from you
How to howl the moon, yeah, and how to scratch a dog
I do it every day, come back again tomorrow
You're chasin' life away
