Can we have a pet dad?
How about some fish?
Swimming in a tank
Oh I wish, I wish, I wish
No we can’t have a pet son
And no I don’t like fish
Swimming in a tank
I like them poached lightly on a dish
Can we have a pet dad?
How about a hamster?
Running on a wheel
Oh can I have one sir
No we can’t have a pet son
No I don’t like hamsters
Running on a wheel
But baked in the oven with roasters
Can we have a pet dad?
How about a cat?
Purring on your lap
What’s wrong with that?
No we can’t have a pet son
And no I don’t like cat
Purring on me lap
Curried though oh yes I do like that
Can we have a pet dad?
How about a gerbil?
They’re cuddly and cute
That would be a thrill
No we can’t have a pet son
And no I don’t like a gerbil
Even cuddly and cute
Except in white wine sauce with dill
Can we have a pet dad?
Now how about some mice?
They’re not big like rats
They’d be very nice
No we can’t have a pet son
And no I don’t like mice
Though not big like rats
I like them served on a bed of rice
Can we have a pet dad?
How about a rat?
They’re cheap to keep
What do you think of that?
No we can’t have a pet son
And no I don’t like rats
Even I have standards
I think I would rather eat my hats
Can we have a pet dad?
How about a doggie?
Playing with a ball
Much better than a moggie
No we can’t have a pet son
And no I don’t like dogs
Playing with a ball
But I do like to wok the dogs
Can we have a pet dad?
How about a parrot?
Chatting on its perch
I’d like that a lot
No we can’t have a pet son
No I don’t like them see
Chatting on their perch
Because parrots repeat on me
