Monty Harper - A Pet Like That

Copied!edit Lyrics
original text at lyrnow.com/1033494
Well, my mom brought home this hamster
That her friend unloaded cheap
And she said since I'm the oldest
It could be my own to keep
But I told her, "No thanks," cause I read this book
Where a guy had a talking cat
Wouldn't it be cool to own a pet like that!

Mr. Popper marches penguins
Jimmy's boa has a winning smile
Joshua Primm on East 88th
Has a crocodile named Lyle
Jeremy Thatcher, dragon hatcher
Hatched a dragon named Tiamat
Wouldn't it be cool to own a pet like that!
Unusual pets are running loose
Through the pages of this book by Dr. Seuss
Here's a seven hump Wump! Could be just the thing!
Or a tiny hopping Yop or a singing Ying!
I could even dream a pet of my own design
Like a porcupooch or a rhinopine
Or a triple-headed, chocolate-seeking, vampire bat!
Wouldn't it be cool to own a pet like that!

Now my sister owns the hamster
And she named him Polkadot
And his fur feels warm and friendly
And we play with him a lot
And he makes us laugh stuffing sunflower seeds
In his cheeks till his face turns fat!
It's truly cool to own a pet like that!
