Colorful flowers here and there
On the petals you will find
Stunning insects of every kind

You can learn from looking at a cat’s paw
Or by seeing the texture of its fur,
Whether or not the cat swings a sharp claw
Or if it welcomes you with a warm purr.

The music of now just gets better and better
Sung by some of the best singers
Everybody can find a way to connect to these song numbers
It makes us better, closer, and happier
