I was home last night, trying to read a book There was a knock on the door, so I took a look
But when I reached the door, there was no one there Not on the porch or anywhere
But in the dark of night, I heard a cry Like somebody was about to die
And when I oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah, yeah
And when I oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah, yeah
I heard a noise, so I looked around There it was, standing on the ground
From the moment that we met I really wanted it for my pet
It looked at me with eyes so true Then I knew it loved me too
And when I oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah, yeah
And when I oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah, yeah
I loved it so much, I wanted to nab it With a fine leap, I tried my best to *** it
But this thing moved faster than a rabbit I tried, I tried, I knew I had to have it
It ran from me, I tried to call it back It started running across a railroad track
It slipped and fell, I heard it cry I covered my eyes as the train rolled by
I went back home, I was feeling bad It would have been the first pet I ever had
My heart was low, I couldn't do a thing Then I heard my telephone ring
I picked it up to my ear I heard a voice so sweet and clear
It said a oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah, yeah
It said a oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah, yeah
It said a oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
