On the Street


They put me out on the street

Now I’m out and all alone

I’ve got lots of sores on my feet

I just want to go back home

 

My family abandoned me

Now what am I to do?

Just run away and flee?

Maybe I’ll stay at a zoo

 

I’m alone and very afraid

I don’t want to get hurt

My welcome was overstayed

Now they put me in the dirt

 

I don’t want to be out here

I just want my family near
