Please Can I Keep It?

from Waltzing with Bears by Sandy Cash

lyrics

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 maybe I won’t have to – Look – It seems very smart, See It’s helping itself to our bread.
Really helping itself to our bread. And some fruit All the fruit. Now the flowers and the vase (wow)

Please can I keep it, its fur is so soft though I know it is shedding a lot
It can sleep on my floor if it fits through the door it can sleep in the hallway if not
Oh please please, please can I keep it, it’s thumping its tail.
It has such a lovable whine,
Oh please can I keep it Just look at those eyes
I think it would love to be mine
Oh I know it would love to be mine. And yours. Say yes, Oh, please… say yes… oh, please… please?
