So Long

So long to my dog Snickers, who ate Christmas tinsel
So long to Mr. Whiskers, who jumped out of a window
And to the family of gerbils who chewed out of their cage
And the little brown rabbit I ran over by mistake

So long, so long
I'll see you on the other side
So long, so long
I'll see you on the other side

So long to the goldfish who ate each others' tails
So long to the chipmunk trapped under the stairs
So long to the rosebush I never watered
And to whatever was inside that hole that I raked over

So long, so long
I'll see you on the other side
So long, so long
I'll see you on the other side

So long to the seagull I hit with a rock
So long to the squirrel I accidentally shot
And to everything I burned with a magnifying lens
That long, lonely summer when I was only ten

So long, so long
I'll see you on the other side
So long, so long
I'll see you on the other side
