There was a knock on the door
But when I reached the door
Not on the porch or anywhere
But in the dark of night, I heard a cry
like somebody was about to die
It went a -ah -ah -ah -oh,
oh oh oh oh, oh oh, yeah yeah
It went a -ah -ah -ah -oh,
oh oh oh, oh oh oh, yeah yeah
I heard a noise so I looked around
There it was standing on the ground
From the moment that we met
I really wanted it for my pet
It looked at me with eyes so true
Then I knew it loved me too
I loved it so much, I wanted to nab it.
I tried my best to grab it.
But this thing moves faster than a rabbit.
But I tried, I tried, I knew I had to have it
It ran from me, I tried to call it back
It started running cross the railroad track
It slipped and fell, I heard it cry
I covered my eyes as the train rode by
I went back home, I was feeling dead
It would've been the first pet I ever had
My heart was low, I couldn't do a thing
Then I heard my telephone ring
I heard a voice so sweet and clear
It said a -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh
It said, oh, oh, oh, oh...
