Went to a pet store with my friend who bought her son a ferret,
found myself in the bird section looking at a tiny baby parrot.

It was a bright green with red feathered wings,
the pet store owner even tried to tell me it sings.

I have to admit he was as cute as can be,
I was thinking of bringing the little guy home with me.

It looked at me and seemed to be trying to talk,
but all that came out was a tired little squawk.

I see birds all day in my yard that fly free,
to keep one in a cage all its life just isn't me.

So onward and upward I'll go until I discover,
a pet just for me, my own furry little lover...
