G C
I'm giving up on certain things like bicycles and gardening
D G
And walking to the grocery store
G C
Because the rain has started in my city and though the greenery is pretty
D G
It's not enough to get me out the door
G C
'Tis the season now of grey and brown, of giving up and sitting down
D G
And layering and wooly socks
G C
I'm celebrating solitude and eating soup instead of food
D G
And never walking more than seven blocks
D G
'Cause I've got cats, and I've got Netflix
D G
I've got games, and I've got snack mix
C G D G
And I am gonna stay indoors for four or five months or more
G C
I'll have several five-blanket nights, forget to buy my Christmas flights
D G
And procrastinate Halloween
G C
And as a consolation prize for heavy clouds that fill the skies
D G
There's pumpkin spice in everything
G C
Every morning it gets darker out, I'm gonna wear these markers out
D G
With all these lists of things I'll never do
G C
And when my motivation's gone, I'll order snacks from Amazon
D G
And try to knit a scarf for you
D G
'Cause I've got cats, and I've got Netflix
D G
I've got games, and I've got snack mix
C G D G
And I am gonna stay indoors for four or five months or more
[Cat keyboard solo! If you don't have a cat keyboard, just sing this:]
G C
Meow meow meow meow meow, meow meow meow meow meow
D G
Meow meow, meow meow meow meow meow meow
G C
Meow meow, meow meow, meow meow, meow meow
D G
Meow meow, meow meow meow meow
D G
I've got plans, I'm gonna make things
D G
If I get hungry, I might even bake things
C G
They say fall is only passing through
D
But I don't really want it to
D G
'Cause we've got cats, and we've got Netflix
D G
We've got games, and we've got snack mix
C G D G
And we are gonna stay indoors for four or five months or more
NOTE: The above is the Weekly Song Wednesday version of 2013. For the Dimetrodon version of 2014,
omit the stanza starting with "I've got plans"; the cat keyboard solo goes straight into
the final chorus, which is sung twice.
(The previous version of this had C / G played over "Netflix" and "snack mix"; I still like doing that
when playing solo, but on review it's not actually how Angela plays it.)
