The Lyrics

We used to have a pet hamster called Jojo... but that wouldn't have scanned.
Jojo was a rat who thought he was a hamster
And he knew it was for real
Jojo left his home in number 20's dumpster
For a cage and hamster wheel
Pet rat, Pet rat
Pet rat 'bout whom I wrote this song
Pet rat, Pet rat
Pet rat, a hamster? Must be wrong
Pet rat Jojo, go home

Pet rat, Pet rat.
Pet rat who's smaller than King Kong
Pet rat, Pet rat.
Pet rat who likes to wear a thong
Pet rat jo.

Sweet Loretta Martin thought she had a rodent
Didn't know it was a rat
Knowing her thought pro-cesses were none too cogent
She gets what she wants, the brat
Pet rat, Pet rat.
Pet rat, no hamster - way too strong
Pet rat, Pet rat.
Pet rat ain't got a hamster shlong
Pet rat Loretta, at home

Pet rat, Pet rat.
Pet rat - this song's way too prolonged
Pet rat, Pet rat.
Get back to where you once belonged
Pet rat, Loretta

That was ... so very odd. But oddly funny. Sorry your rat wasn't hung like a hamster. 555

Very funny take on 'rodentia humorosa'...(an underappreciated species, if you ask me...). And Lennon may well be spinning in his grave with this one, Phil!

Yeah, pet the rat, Loretta! Incedintally, I bet Loretta Swit would pet anything.

What can I say? Other than having had a pet hamster called Jojo, the first line of this has been going round my head for ages. And ages. And aaaaaages. The only way to exorcise this particular demon is finish the parody.

For god's sake, don't put Jojo the rat and G. Gordon Liddy in the same room. Liddy ate a rat once over 60 years ago to conquer a fear of rodents.
