Little Rancor Pet (To: Prince's "Little Red Corvette")

I guess I should’ve known
on the day I saw him in the pet shop
next to all the mice.
They opened up the cage
and he grabbed himself a piglet.
Ate it in three large bites.
And I'd seen that before
In a movie that was set in
a faraway galaxy.
Yeah he was only knee height, but boy that fella could bite
I recognised him instantly

And so I bought my

Little Rancor pet
buddy, you're getting fat
Little Rancor pet
knows what happened to my neighbor's cat.

I guess I should've realised
when I drove him to the place
where he would live with me.
Cuz in five minutes flat my cosy little apartment
was a national emergency.
Believe it or not, I felt kind of happy
cause I had a cool pet again.
Yeah he is only knee height, but boy that fella can bite
and he really likes to roar until 3am.

Oh yeah!

Little Rancor pet
buddy, you're getting fat
Little Rancor pet
knows what happened to my neighbor's cat.

It's working out well- I bought the downstairs apartment
and converted it to his pit.
Then got a monkey, here on a chain
and he dances like his life depends on it!

Little Rancor pet
buddy, you're getting fat
Little Rancor pet
knows what happened to my neighbor's cat.

Little Rancor pet
eats all that I throw down (what you throw down)
Little Rancor pet
Think I'm on my way to ruling this town.
Little Rancor pet
buddy, you're getting fat
Little Rancor pet
knows what happened to my neighbor's cat.
(repeat ad lib)
