"Ferdinand the Ferret" M. Leppard c 1997

Let me tell you a story
come on and listen to my tale
all about how I found out
what Angelina Blake's got for a friend
and I know when you see it
you won't believe your eyes
I was scared, I stood and stared
as Angelina smiled

chorus:
she's got a big brown ferret call Ferdinand
and she takes him for a walk
on a fancy purple piece of string
and all the neighbours gawk
she's got a big brown ferret called Ferdinand
with yellow beady eyes
the first time I saw Ferdinand
I was so surprised.

well I said, "Angelina
girl you must have lost your mind
everyone says they're no fun
besides they stink and bite your fingers off."
but she didn't believe me
she laughed for a while
and said "Ferd's o.k., he loves to play
and he's got so much style"

chorus:
she's got a big brown ferret called Ferdinand
she takes him for a walk
on a fancy purple piece of string
and all the neighbours gawk
she's got a big brown ferret called Ferdinand
with yellow beady eyes
the first itme I saw Ferdinand
man, I was so surprised.

well wouldn't you be
he sniffed at me
he looked so sweet
he's just done a pee
oh mum it's all over my feet
(you're not getting a ferret , now come with me)

I want a big brown ferret like Ferdinand
I'll take him for a walk
I'll get a fancy purple piece of string
and see all my neighbours gawk
I want a big brown ferret like Ferdinand
with yellow beady eyes
if I get one like Ferdinand
I'll be so surprised
