Monty Harper - Eleanor Gerbil

To Rate
Intro
Ooo, look at all that chewed-up cardboard!
Ooo, what to do with all that cardboard!

Verse 1
Eleanor Gerbil
Gnawing away at the edge of another page;
Alone in her cage
Look at her working
Moving her castles of paper from here to there
Why does she care?

Chorus
Gerbil, gerbil, rearrange
Make everything just so
What she thinks she's going to change
Only she can know
Verse 2
Bobby McDoogle
Slumped in a chair after school staring at TV;
What does he see?
Someone distracts him
A rodent in motion has brokеn his cartoon trance
Look at her dance!

Chorus
Gеrbil, gerbil, rearrange
Make everything just so
What she thinks she's going to change
Only she can know

Ooo, look at all that chewed-up cardboard!
Ooo, what to do with all that cardboard!

Verse 3
Eleanor Gerbil
Poking her nose through a hole in her plastic cell;
What does she smell?
Bobby McDoogle
Standing and stepping away from the TV set;
Greeting his pet

Chorus
Gerbil, gerbil, rearrange. (Ooh, look at all that chewed up cardboard!)
Make everything just so
What she thinks she's going to change, (Ooh, look at all that chewed up cardboard)
She and Bobby know!
