The Pussycats' Practice
Everyone raced over to the table until Rosa & Charlie stopped them.
"No running please." Charlie reminded the Pussycats as well as his own children.
"That's right," Rosa reprimanded the sixteen children. "we don't really want either of you to get hurt."
The sixteen children stopped dead in their tracks, "Oops! Sorry about that." they said, slowing their steps to a walk.
After supper that evening, it was time for Josie and the Pussycats to practice for their upcoming concert the very next night.
Now, it was Valerie's turn to take the lead.
Valerie: I've seen your face;
I've heard your voice before;
I know I've heard those;
Same old lies before;
The rainbow that you paint;
I've chased before;
But now I know I just can't chase it anymore;
Lie, lie, lie;
You told a;
Lie, lie, lie;
You sold a;
Lie, lie, lie;
Gonna live without your love;
The day we met you swept me off my feet;
You were the boy I always dreamed I'd meet;
But when I finally found my head again;
I saw you as you really are;
My friend;
Lie, lie, lie;
I can't hear you;
Lie, lie, lie;
I don't need you;
Lie, lie, lie;
I got to be going;
Josie & Melody: Baby;
Valerie: Watch me walk away;
Josie & Melody: Baby;
Valerie: You just talk away;
Josie & Melody: Baby;
Valerie: No more crying;
And no more lying to me;
Lie, lie, lie;
I can't hear you;
Lie, lie, lie;
I said I don't need you;
And I don't want you;
Lie, lie, lie;
I can't hear you;
Lie, lie, lie;
I don't need you;
Lie, lie, lie;
I don't need you;
Lie, lie, lie.
"Oh wow, Groovy Gears," Alan said to Valerie. "that was far out!"
"Thanks, Gentle Inventer," Valerie said to Alan. "before we rehearse Inside, Outside, Upside Down again, I need a drink."
"Me too!" Josie agreed.
"Me too!" Melody agreed.
"What would you lovely ladies like me to make for you to drink?" Alan asked Valerie, Melody, and Josie.
"Pineapple orange mango smoothies!" Valerie, Josie, and Melody answered the third oldest Chan boy in unison.
"Three pineapple orange mango smoothies," Alan said to Valerie, Melody, and Josie. "coming right up."
Alan then disappeared into the kitchen to make smoothies.
After they had their smoothies, Josie, Valerie, and Melody began to rehearse for their upcoming gig.
Josie began to sing with confidence.
Josie: Inside, outside, upside down;
You got me going round and round;
Backwards, forwards, sideways too;
You got me dizzy from a-loving you;
Don't you know that I love you;
But I don't know what to do;
You got to me;
Now why can't you see;
I've got to get to you;
Inside, outside, upside down;
Got to get my feet back on the ground;
Baby won't you treat me right;
Valerie & Melody: Now, now, now;
Josie: Gotta get some-a your loving tonight;
Don't you know that I love you;
But I don't know what to do;
You got to me;
Now why can't you see;
I've got to get to you;
Don't you know that I love you;
But I don't know what to do;
You got to me;
Now why can't you see;
I've got to get to you;
Valerie: Come on now;
Josie: Don't you know that I love you;
But I don't know what to do;
You got to me;
Now why can't you see;
I've got to get to you;
Melody: Everybody;
Josie, Valerie, and Melody: Don't you know that I love you;
But I don't know what to do;
You got to me;
Now why can't you see;
I've got to get to you.
After that song, the clock chimed ten times, and Josie could see Mimi & Scooter both yawning.
"I think it is somebody's bedtime." Josie said to Mimi & Scooter.
"You can definitely say that again, Josie." Mimi & Scooter yawned in sleepy unison.
