Lyrics[]

To make a beautiful water painting...Take a sheet of... newspaper.

Put it on...your bed. Put water in... your slippers.

Dip... the cat's tail in the water, then in your... used paint pellets.

Spread out your pillow well.

To make it dry faster...sit on it.

That's it, it's finished!

But why is my butt all wet?
