Let me tell you a story I happen to know
It’s about a squirrel and a guy named Joe
You see Joe had a pet squirrel when a boy
He played with that squirrel just like a toy
Now the squirrel was intelligent as could be
Joe loved him so he would let him run free
He’d hide when Joe’s Dad was around
In fact he was not anywhere to be found
That squirrel was forbidden in the house
Joe’s Dad put him on the level of a louse
“He’s a destructive creature Joe,” he would say
Whatever he destroys you will have to pay
Now Joe loved that squirrel with all his might
He knew he’d have to keep him out of sight
His Dad had threatened to make squirrel stew
Joe figured that’s what he’d do if he only knew
One Thursday night Joe was asleep in his bed
The squirrel was curled up; so nothing to dread
Joe’s Dad was at the table eating a piece of pie
The squirrel peeked out, and the pie he did spy
Quickly the squirrel ran up the leg of the chair
Jumped on Joe’s Dad, flew up into his hair
Joe’s Dad let out a scream, the squirrel fell
“Joe, get this squirrel,” he said with a yell
Joe could be seen flying out of his room
By this time his Dad had grabbed a broom
This man had a temper like a powder keg
Then the squirrel ran up his Dad’s pant leg
He danced around all over the floor
Joe knew he was doomed to get “what for”
He was glad his Dad wore his bibbs
Eventually the squirrel climbed up his ribs
The squirrel jumped out on the table
Then came a scream from Aunt Mable
Joe grabbed for the squirrel, caught his tail
Wondered how long he could prevail
Joe’s Dad was swinging the broom
He chased Joe all across the room
Joe cleared the door and ran outside
Still holding the squirrel by the backside
He dropped the squirrel who ran for a tree
Then Joe tripped over a pail, landed on his knee
That was the end of the friendship with the squirrel
Joe decided it was safer to spend time with a girl
