lyrics
A blue moon rises at midnight
Hound dog’s howling the news
A kitten on drums begins to play
A parakeet hits the key of A
A terrier digging a saxophone is blowing the blues
They do the pet rock - rock and roll!
They do the pet rock - rock and roll!
They do the pet rock - rock and roll!
Rock and roll all night!
The garden gates are all gaping open
The music calls them into the street
The potbelly pig is strumming the strat
Iguana on bass, harmonica rat
They know the sound of freedom is a rock n roll beat
They do the pet rock - rock and roll!
They do the pet rock - rock and roll!
They do the pet rock - rock and roll!
Rock and roll all night!
Now no one in the neighborhood is getting any sleep
Don’t even think to bother with the counting of the sheep
The sheep are in the cul-de-sac underneath the stars
Jamming with the moon dogs ringing their guitars
May as well get up and go outside
Although your mama may not understand
You don’t wanna miss the dogs and cats
Turtles and ferrets and frogs and rats
Dancing to the music of the Pet Rock Band
They do the pet rock - rock and roll!
They do the pet rock - rock and roll!
They do the pet rock - rock and roll!
Rock and roll all night!
Hound dog’s howling the news
A kitten on drums begins to play
A parakeet hits the key of A
A terrier digging a saxophone is blowing the blues
They do the pet rock - rock and roll!
They do the pet rock - rock and roll!
They do the pet rock - rock and roll!
Rock and roll all night!
The garden gates are all gaping open
The music calls them into the street
The potbelly pig is strumming the strat
Iguana on bass, harmonica rat
They know the sound of freedom is a rock n roll beat
They do the pet rock - rock and roll!
They do the pet rock - rock and roll!
They do the pet rock - rock and roll!
Rock and roll all night!
Now no one in the neighborhood is getting any sleep
Don’t even think to bother with the counting of the sheep
The sheep are in the cul-de-sac underneath the stars
Jamming with the moon dogs ringing their guitars
May as well get up and go outside
Although your mama may not understand
You don’t wanna miss the dogs and cats
Turtles and ferrets and frogs and rats
Dancing to the music of the Pet Rock Band
They do the pet rock - rock and roll!
They do the pet rock - rock and roll!
They do the pet rock - rock and roll!
Rock and roll all night!

HORRIBLE SONGS FOR CHILDREN
