Gm                  Eb7
I'm a long-haired hippie kitten.
C                D
I'm on a secret mission.
Gm            Eb7            C            D
I've got a message for the people of the world:

C                                  G
You've got to know Happy doesn't have to have an ending!
Am                                    F        
Don't stop the good times when they start!

Come on now!
C                                  G
You've got to know Happy doesn't have to have an ending!
Am                       F
Remember this before we part:
               C                       G/B
You've got to sing out loud when the music starts.
               Am                       D
You've got to shake your tail when you hear this part.

Come on now!


I'm a long-haired hippie kitten.
I'm on a secret mission
to make a valentine for everyone on earth.
I'm sitting in my window with my kitten arms akimbo.
My paw is tired from this valentines' work.

A            D/A
Gavotte's a kind of dance and
A            D/A
it really comes from France and
A            D/A         A          D/A
it's like a minuet but moderately fast.
A           D/A
Other cats come around here just to
A            D/A
gavotte with me and you too
A                 D/A             A               D/A
Put to rest the rumors that a hippie cat can't dance!

You've got to know Happy doesn't have to have an ending!
You've got to make room for too much fun.
Come on now!

You've got to know Happy doesn't have to have an ending!
We've got the stars.
We've got the sun.

You've got to smile a while when it feels alright.
You've got to jump around, and we'll dance all night!
Come on now!
