lyrics
The world can be an ugly place
But have you ever seen the smile on a baby's face?
Sometimes the world can bring you down
But puppies and kittens can turn your day around
A basket of adorables makes everything right
Warm fuzzy feelings from morning into night
Bunnies are hopping, piglets running wild
Making me feel happy, giggling like a child
Pygmy goats bouncing around, a cute little piggy snout
Ducklings and baby chicks can wipe away any pout
A basket of adorables makes everything right
Warm fuzzy feelings from morning into night
Can't watch the new anymore
I just can not bear it
Instead I'll search the interwebs
For hamsters eating carrots
Prancing ponies, a hedgehog rolled up in a ball
Snuggling otters might be the cutest of all
The smile of a baby sloth, a husky's first howl
Kissing fishies, and a furry baby owl
A basket of adorables makes everything right
Warm fuzzy feelings from morning into night
