I need a little pet
It's true, but which one to get?
Can't choose somethin' out the blue
Must choose in advance, it's true

I'd like somethin' that flies
A wingèd friend sounds nice
But don't give me some borin' budgie
Please, dude

Want somethin' with more vibe
Than too-common parrots, right
I'd fume at a cockatoo
It's true, it's not what I'd choose

Ev'ryone else, I find
Keep cockatiels, that's fine
But not for me, no int'rest for me

I need a unique pet
A toucan would suit my fix
It's true, pelican works too
A huge beak is just my tune

And if you ask me why
The answer's simple: I
Last bird I had was small in size
That bird was of the woodpeck kind
Yeesh

It's true
So true
Real true
Too true
