037 - Crocodile on a String

I’ve got this Crocodile on a string

I don’t need to worry about anything

With this pet I am the king

I love my Crocodile on a string

I’ve got this Eagle on a rope

You must admit, he looks pretty dope

My wicked bird really helps me cope

I love my Eagle on a rope

The Croc and the Eagle don’t get along

Together they don’t really belong

They had a fight, it’s all gone wrong

They both escaped in the dingdong

Now I’m by myself without my defences

What a ridiculous waste of expenses

I should have come to my senses

My loneliness thus recommences
