WE HAD EVERY PET, EXCEPT A DOG:, WHEN ME AND MY BROYJER , GREW UP IN WINONA MINNESOTA:
WE COULDNT HAVE A DOG, IN TOWN UNLESS IT WAS ON A CHAIN, SO FOR US IT WASNT ALLOWED, SAID MA AND PA:
SO FOR MY BROTHER AND ME:
OUR PET COLLECTION CAME TO BE:
WE HAD A PIGEON, WE NAMED HIM CHESTER:
IT WASNT TOO LONG, WE GOT ANOHER AND ANOTHER, AND ENDED UP WITH PIGEONS OF FIFTEEN, AND NONE LESSER:
WE HAD TWO GUINIA PIGS, AND ONE WAS NAMED ARNOLD, AND I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER THE SOUNDS THAT THEY MADE:
FOR FIVE YEARS AS A COOL LITTLE PET OUR ARNOLD STAYED:
OUR PIGEONS WERE ALWAYS LAYING EGGS, AND MORE AND MORE BABIES WERE COMING YO BE:
MA AND PA, SAID WE HAD TOO MANY, SO THEY SAID WE HAD TO LET THEM GO AND BE FREE:
WE OPENED THERE CAGE AND OUT THEY ALL FLEW. AROUND AND AROUND IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD THEY FLEW, AS FAR AS YOU COULD SEE, THEN AT NIGHT THEY WOULD COME RIGHT BACK TO THERE CAGE, TO MY BROTHER AND ME
ME AND MY BROTHER WE LOVED OUR PETS YOU SEE:
WE HAD A PET DUCK, WE NAMED HIM HERBIE:
BUT I THINK THAT HE WAS A SHE:
HERBIE WOULD CHASE THE PIGEONS, AND HE LOVED IT WHEN WE GOT MINNOWS AND PUT THEM IN HIS LITTLE SWIMMING POOL:
WE WOULD WALK AROUND THE BLOCK, WITH SOME HAMBURGER IN OUR HAND, AND HERBIE WOULD FOLLOW US, IT WAS FUN AND KINDA COOL:
WE STARTED WITH TWO RABBITS, WE NAMED THEM MA AND PA:
I LOST TRACK OF ALL THE RABBITS WE HAD,WE HAD TO GIVE THEM ALL AWAY, MA LAYED DOWN THE LAW,
THE RABBITS ALWAYS FOUND THERE WAY INTO THE NEIGHBORS GARDEN:
AND WE GOT IN TOO MUCH TROUBLE OVER AND OVER AGAIN:
SO WE HAD GUPPIES AND STARTED OUT WITH JUST A FEW:
IN NO TIME WE HAD SO MANY, MAYBE MILLIONS WHO KNEW:
WE HAD GERBALS AND MICE, THEY KEPT GETTING AWAY SO THEY FOUND A HOME DOWN IN THE BASEMENT, WHERE THEY HID AND STAYED:
ALL THE CAGES FOR OUR ANIMALS, ME AND MY BROTHER PROUDLY MADE:
WE HAD TURTLES,, THAT WE WOULD CATCH DOWN AT THE RIVER:
WE WANTED EVERY PET WE COULD GET FOR SURE:
WE BUILT A FORT IN THE BACK YARD IT WAS OUR PRIDE AND JOY:
ILL ALWAYS REMEMBER, GROWING UP IN MINNESOTA, WITH ME AND MY BROTHER WHEN I WAS JUST A BOY:
WE HAD A CAT, HER NAME WAS PATCHES, NAMED BY OUR SISTER CARLENE,:
SHE WAS THE PRETTIEST CAT YOU HAVE EVER SEEN:
SHE HAD KITTENS OF FIVE, THEY ALL WERE SO MUCH FUN:
WE DIDNT WANT TO GIVE ANY AWAY, NOT EVEN ONE:
WE HAD A PARAKEET, AND CALLED HIM SAM:
HE LOVED TO EAT PEANUT BUTTER AND JAM:
THEN THERE WAS BIGGIE, OUR HAMSTER:
WE HAD HIM FOR YEARS AND YEARS, AND LOVED HIM FOR SURE:
WE EVEN HAD A CHICKEN, BUT MOM SAID IT WAS TOO MUCH WORK, AND TOO MESSY IN TOWN:
SO FOR OUR CHICKEN, A NEW HOME WE FOUND:
ONCE WE CAUGHT CHIPMUNKS AT THE OLD WINDAM PARK CEMENTARY:
THAT THE TREES WERE SO HUGE AND KINDA SCARY:
WE CAUGHT A CHIPMUNK, AND BROUGHT HIM HOME:
BUT WE LET IT FREE, HE WAS CAGED AND ALL ALONE:
MY BROTHER AND ME, WE TOOK CARE OF OUR EVERY PET, SO WEL, WE HAD EVERY PET, EXCEPT FOR A DOG:
WE EVEN THOUGHT ABOUT GETTING A HOG:
MA AND PA, SAID WE COULDNT HAVE A DOG, CAUSED IT HAD TO BE ON A CHAIN:
SO WE GOT EVERY OTHER PET ANIMAL WE COULD FIND THE SAME:
