arthur had a lion
mary had a lamb
mickey had a monkey
who liked eggs and ham

morris had a goldfish
who was named big al
donna had a python
and treated him like a pal

eddie had a rabbit
who treated him like dirt
georgie had a million friends
but still he felt hurt

laura had a cadillac
and polished it like the sun
nick had a billion dollars
and hated everyone

olive lived in a little house
outside the city line
pete asked olive to marry him
but she politely declined

they all lived together
in a planet in the sky
things were supposed to be different there
but i don’t know why

some folks will complain
if you hang them with a brand new rope
others are always smiling
so maybe there is hope
