The Lyrics
OK... STOP Pervs... nothing sexual here. This is about our first house cat when my family moved from Harrisburg, Pa. to N Highlands, Ca. in 1967. Our first cat was a fine-blend tortoiseshell that was hard to find. Her name was Gussam (Number 1) and spent most of her days lying on my parents' bed. One Valentine's Day, my dad bought my mom a red, plush fox and put it on the bed. Gussam then started to lick it, grooming it all day long until her tongue was red with dye. No one could take the fox from her or she would swipe her claws at them! She licked it white!
Plush fox gift
Gussam grabbed it quick
Nuts was that cat
Groomed that fox's back!
When that plush fox came along
She would lick it
When she had it all day long
She would lick it
Even with the dye so strong
She would lick it
She licked it
Every day
On that bed
Couldn't wait
Tongue lapping
Turned red
Never neglected
Gussam's mate
She licked it
Groomed it good
Whenever we put it down
She would lick it
Gussam licked it all around
Oh yes, she licked it
Color fades away
Becasue she licked it
She would lick it
Cleaned it good
She would lick it
It was groomed
Plush fox gift
Gussam grabbed it quick
Nuts was that cat
Groomed that fox's back!
When that plush fox came along
She would lick it
When she had it all day long
She would lick it
Even with the dye so strong
She would lick it
She licked it
Every day
On that bed
Couldn't wait
Tongue lapping
Turned red
Never neglected
Gussam's mate
She licked it
Every day
On that bed
Couldn't wait
Tongue lapping
Turned red
Never neglected
Gussam's mate
She licked it
Groomed it good
Gussam grabbed it quick
Nuts was that cat
Groomed that fox's back!
When that plush fox came along
She would lick it
When she had it all day long
She would lick it
Even with the dye so strong
She would lick it
She licked it
Every day
On that bed
Couldn't wait
Tongue lapping
Turned red
Never neglected
Gussam's mate
She licked it
Groomed it good
Whenever we put it down
She would lick it
Gussam licked it all around
Oh yes, she licked it
Color fades away
Becasue she licked it
She would lick it
Cleaned it good
She would lick it
It was groomed
Plush fox gift
Gussam grabbed it quick
Nuts was that cat
Groomed that fox's back!
When that plush fox came along
She would lick it
When she had it all day long
She would lick it
Even with the dye so strong
She would lick it
She licked it
Every day
On that bed
Couldn't wait
Tongue lapping
Turned red
Never neglected
Gussam's mate
She licked it
Every day
On that bed
Couldn't wait
Tongue lapping
Turned red
Never neglected
Gussam's mate
She licked it
Groomed it good

Interesting story of the cat's name. When my dad got the cat, he took a liking to her (he was previosuly a dog lover) and used to call her "Good Pussy"... which caused embarassment whenever company came over. My mom asked him to think of another name and so he shortened that name to "Gussy". But b/c mom also called her a "Good one" (she wasn't too fond of cats herself), the combo became Gussam! For some reason the French think the name is of their language (Goo-somme) but it's pronounced (Goo-sum). After Gussam I passed away in the 1970s we had various tiger cats and black cats until 1995 when my sister found another unique fine-blend tortoiseshell to give to our mother that looked amazingly like the previous one. She is Gussam II and now resides with a neighbor after my mom died in 2001. She is 17 yrs this May 19th. I tried to get a Gussam III for myself since 2001, but so far I have only found a fine-blend tortoiseshell-manx combo and my sister told me no way, so I didn't buy it. I love dogs, cats, and rats. The cute stinky Ferret experiment failed and wasted several hundred dollars. They poop piles of sh-ts like a dog and smell. I gave mine away in the 1990s after having one for about a week- smuggled it into Cali from Reno. What a waste!
