Notes: Hannah had quite the menagerie of pets: wild ducklings, toads, snails, cats, dogs, rabbits, mice, chickens … thanks to her patient mom! This song was a joy to write! – Les Baca

lyrics
Can we keep ‘em? Can we keep ‘em?
Mom, they’ll make you glad
Mom, they’re ducklings, wild ducklings
Without us, they’d be sad
They’ve got soft feathers and they sing quacks
And I’m sure they’ll help you to relax
Can we keep ‘em? Can we keep ‘em?
I’ll get ‘em a lily pad
Mom, they’re toads, hoppy toads
I wanna name this one Galahad.
They’ve got lots of spots and they sing ribbits
We could name the second one, Princess Tibbits
I’ll clean ‘em and feed ‘em
And walk ‘em everyday
You know I need ‘em
Mom, what do you say?
Can we keep ‘em? Can we keep ‘em?
Mom, please don’t get mad
Mom, they’re snails, slo-mo snails
And really, their slime’s not bad
They’ve got pretty shells and they don’t sing
But I bet they’ll have a lot of offspring
I’ll clean ‘em and feed ‘em
And walk ‘em everyday
You know I need ‘em
Mom, what do you say?
I love my rabbits,
love my cats and dogs,
the mice, the chickens and you most of all!
I’ll clean ‘em and feed ‘em
And walk ‘em everyday
You know I need ‘em
Mom, what do you say?
Okay…
