Lyrics

The day squid's gerbil died gerbil died gerbil died
The day squid's gerbil died
He was d.o.a. d.o.a. d.o.a
He was d.o.a

Don't do it! no!
Doggy's not supposed to chase him around at all
Squid put the dog gate up
So he couldn't get to the third floor
But doggy pushed it down and chased the gerbil all around
Chased him in circles, from noon until four

Don't do it! no!
Don't do it! no!

She had to take care of him during spring vacation
Came in from playing one day
And he was dead on location
A gerbil stiff as a board
Staring blankly at the world
Now he wont play on his wheel anymore
Licking sniffing, pawing, snorting, pissing, shitting
Jumping, drooling, growling, chasing, staring, digging
No means no means no!

Licking sniffing, pawing, snorting, pissing, shitting
Jumping, drooling, growling, chasing, staring, digging
No means no means no!

The day squid's gerbil died gerbil died gerbil died
The day squid's gerbil died
He was d.o.a. d.o.a. d.o.a
He was d.o.a
The day squid's gerbil died, oh my god, how she cried
Don't do it! no!
Don't do it! no!

A little later on in life came a gerbil couple
They got together, had some babies
But then came trouble daddy gerbil bit their heads off
Squid came too late to pull him off
More gerbil funerals, without heads they would rot

Licking sniffing, pawing, snorting, pissing, shitting
Jumping, drooling, growling, chasing, staring, digging
No means no means no!

Licking sniffing, pawing, snorting, pissing, shitting
Jumping, drooling, growling, chasing, staring, digging
No means no means no! no! no! no!

You're a bad bad dog
And I told you not to do it
And I told you not to go

You're a bad bad dog
And I told you not to do it
Now you're choking on a bone!
