Maybe a llama
Maybe a little mouse on a wheel
Or an iguana
Maybe a monkey
Imagine how much fun that would be
To watch him playing up in the tree
Hee-hee, hee-hee

Well, you know he took it badly
When his kitty died
Nobody could save it
Although every body tried

So we think
Jim needs an animal
Yes, indeed
Jim needs an animal
Don’t you agree?
Hee-hee, hee-hee

(No, I don’t)
(No, I don’t)

Jim needs an animal
Hey, hey, hey
Jim needs an animal
Wouldn’t you say?
Jim needs an animal
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Get buzzed with the bees
Hop along with the fleas
Get a nice white rat with
Whom you can share you cheese
Of course, with a horse
You just hop on and ride

Maybe a bird, like a cockatoo
I mean you seem to like your fishpond
“Yeah, I do”
I guess the fish are cool
But you can’t bring them inside

Jim needs an animal
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Jim needs an animal
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Jim needs an animal
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
