Lyrics

Josie and the Pussycats
Long tails and ears for hats
Guitars and sharps and flats
Neat sweet a groovy song
You’re invited come along

Hurry hurry see yall in Persia
Or maybe France
We could be in India
Or perchance
Be with us in Bangkok
Make no difference
Where involved in this and that
Everywhere the actions at

Come on along now Josie and the Pussycats
No time for purrs and pats
Won't run when they hear scat
Josie and the Pussycats

Hurry Hurry see yall in Persia
Or maybe France
We could be in India
Or perchance
Be with us in Bangkok
Make no difference
Where involved in this and that
Everywhere the actions at

In popular culture

• In The Fairly OddParents episode "Shelf Life," Tom Swayer changes the story Jason and the Argonauts so that Jason and his Argonaut soldiers are magically changed into a music band "Jason and the Pussycats," singing a parody of the theme song to fight off a cyclops.

Riverdale

• "Chapter Six: Faster, Pussycats! Kill! Kill!:" Kevin refers to the Pussycats as having long tails and ears for hats just like in the theme song.
• "Chapter Ninety-One: The Return of the Pussycats:" The Pussycats perform part of their theme song in a benefit gig for Riverdale, cutting off before they refer to their world travels, because in this continuity they have not achieved that kind of fame.
