05 Laura Linney - Please, Can I Keep It

Hey mom! Come into the kitchen and close your eyes
I've brought you home a big surprise
Isn't it adorable?
Okay, Boy, now sit
Sit
Sit
Never mind

Please, can I keep it?
It followed me home
It seems to be sad and alone
Oh, please, can I keep it?
It's friendly and shy
And I don't have a pet of my own

Please, please, can I keep it?
It followed me home
What exactly it is, I don't know
Oh, please, can I keep it?
It's lost and afraid
And I'm sure it has nowhere to go

I could find it a bowl
And give it some food
Whenever it needs to be fed
Or I maybe won't have to
It seems pretty smart
See? It's helping itself to our bread
Really helping itself to our bread

And some fruit
ALL the fruit
Now the juice
And the flowers
And the vase
(Wow!)
