Jim's Hamster (got cancer and now he doesn't have a pet hamster)
There was a boy
Who didn't play with his toys
They put love on display
But he could not relate
All his life he was cold
He had no wife to grow old
He was stuck behind a cell door
Until he walked into that pet store
It was the cutest little thing
Eyes wide staring back at him
And for the first time in his life
He felt like he could really relate
He's a disaster
But at least he's got his hamster
He understands her
Where would he be without her
He's a disaster
But at least he's got his hamster
He understands her
Where would he be without her
When she was sweet
He gave her her favourite treats
His love was so pure
He's not lonely anymore
When it got sick
He wrapped it in a blanket
And found himself crying
Cus he realised that he loved it
He's a disaster
But at least he's got his hamster
He understands her
Where would he be without her
He's a disaster
But at least he's got his hamster
It got cancer
So now he doesn't have a pet hamster
Who didn't play with his toys
They put love on display
But he could not relate
All his life he was cold
He had no wife to grow old
He was stuck behind a cell door
Until he walked into that pet store
It was the cutest little thing
Eyes wide staring back at him
And for the first time in his life
He felt like he could really relate
He's a disaster
But at least he's got his hamster
He understands her
Where would he be without her
He's a disaster
But at least he's got his hamster
He understands her
Where would he be without her
When she was sweet
He gave her her favourite treats
His love was so pure
He's not lonely anymore
When it got sick
He wrapped it in a blanket
And found himself crying
Cus he realised that he loved it
He's a disaster
But at least he's got his hamster
He understands her
Where would he be without her
He's a disaster
But at least he's got his hamster
It got cancer
So now he doesn't have a pet hamster
