Hey, Mister!
You got any fish?
I want one of those goldfish,
The kind that swims real nice,
And looks cool on my dresser
Give me that one right there!
I like its’ color.
Hey, Mister!
I want a cat.
A fat fluffy white one, like a big snowball
The kind that has a hawk’s claws!
Oh wow! Like that one there?
Huh?
What about my goldfish?
Everyone knows cats don't actually eat fish
Plus I have him way high up.
I'll take this guy here.
I like his tail.
Hey, Mister!
I need to get a dog.
You know, the kind that knows how to do tricks
I'm gonna show all those kids at school
Just wait!
Their jaws will hit the floor, those sissies, when they see that my Buddy can do a backflip a mile high in the air, and land perfectly on his two back feet.Huh?
What about my cat?
Cats can't do tricks! Cats are just about as smart as rocks!
What about my goldfish?
Don't be stupid, goldfish don't do anything but float around all day.
Give me that guy there,
He looks real smart.
Hey, Mister!
Don’t look at me like that!
The stupid fish died
Cause that damn cat learned how to climb
And the stupid cat got scared to death
Cause that damn dog isn't in his prime!
Hey, Mister!
I want my money back!
