-CONFUSION-

 

My head begins to jingle most ev'rytime I nod

Obviously, quite obviously I'm odd

Each Christmas I go fishing to catch a Christmas cod

'cause obviously, quite obviously I'm odd

When I was just a kitten, they'd said I'd be a gem

But now that I'm a Cheshire Cat, it's odd how odd I am

I own a feather pillow but I slumber on the sod

'cause obviously, quite obviously I'm odd

Most cats have handsome whiskers but me, I've got a beard

'cause obviously, quite obviously I'm weird
