WHEN I WAS A LITTLE GIRL
MY FATHER TRAVELLED
'ROUND THE WORLD
HE'D WRITE ABOUT THE
FASCINATING THINGS HE'D SEE
BUT DID HE EVER BRING BACK
ANYTHING FOR ME, NO
HE'D JUST SEND ME
PHOTOGRAPHS OF LIONS, HIPPOS
AND GIRAFFES
FORGET THE EXPEDITIONS
I WANTED EXHIBITIONS
SOMETHING I COULD FEEL
SOMETHING THAT WAS REAL
SO, TAKE A DEEP BREATH
YOU GUESSED, I WANTED
PRETTY LITTLE DEAD THINGS
TO HANG UP ON THE WALL
FIRST I HAVE TO SLAY IT
THEN I LIKE TO FLAY IT
AND DISPLAY IT
I DON'T CARE HOW BIG OR SMALL
GIVE ME PRETTY
LITTLE DEAD THINGS
THAT'S WHAT I WANT TO SEE
'CAUSE NO-ONE LOVES
A PRETTY LITTLE DEAD THING
MORE THAN ME
IT AMAZES ME THAT PEOPLE
FIND IT QUITE BIZARRE
WHEN SEEING CREATURES
IN A JAR, A KITTEN OR A CAMEL
A REPTILE OR A MAMMAL
ANY KIND OF BEAST
AS LONG AS IT'S DECEASED
TAKE YOUR LAST BREATH
OH YES, ALL THE
PRETTY LITTLE DEAD THINGS
MAKE ME FEEL ALIVE
IF YOU WANNA SEE 'EM
SWAP THE MAUSOLEUM
FOR MUSEUM
AND I'LL HAPPILY SUPPLY ALL
THE PRETTY LITTLE DEAD THINGS
THAT YOU'LL EVER NEED
'CAUSE NO-ONE MAKES
A PRETTY LITTLE DEAD THING
QUITE LIKE ME, YEAH...
SO, WHEN THE FAMILY PUP
HAS HAD ENOUGH
WHY NOT GET IT STUFFED
WITH LOTS OF FLUFF
THOUGH HE'S NEVER
GOING TO FETCH THAT BALL
HE'LL BE GREAT AT
PLAYING DEAD IN THE HALL
IF YOU REVERSE ON
THE NEIGHBOUR'S CAT
I CAN PUMP IT UP
IN SECONDS FLAT
FROM INVERTEBRATES
TO AMPHIBIA
I'VE STUFFED AN ENCYCLOPAEDIA
AN ANT, A BEE
A CARP AND A DOG
ELEPHANTS, FROGS
TWO GIRAFFES AND A HOG
IGUANAS AND JELLYFISH
TWELVE KANGAROOS
LEMURS AND MANATEES
I'LL STUFF THE ZOO
NARWHALS AND OCTOPI
QUITE A FEW QUAIL
RED-BREASTED ROBINS
AND SEVENTEEN SNAILS
ALL KIND OF TIGERS, DON'T CARE
WHERE THEY'RE BORN
IF THEY WERE REAL
I'D STUFF UNICORNS
VULTURES AND WORMS
XANTUS, A YAK AND A ZEBRA
AND WE'RE ALMOST DONE
I'VE STUFFED AND STUFFED
EVERYTHING ON THIS PLANET
BUT ONE...
IT HAS TO BE PERUVIAN
I NEED A BEAR
NOTHING ELSE COMPARES
SAY GOODBYE, PERU
I'LL SEND IT TO OBLIVION
WHERE MY FATHER FAILED
I WILL PREVAIL
AND ONCE THAT BEAR IS MINE
I'LL BE THE BEST
EXPLORER OF ALL TIME
PRETTY LITTLE DEAD BEAR
NOWHERE YOU CAN HIDE
I'LL MAKE IT AN EXHIBIT
BUT FIRST I NEED TO KILL IT
THEN FILL IT
UP WITH FORMALDEHYDE
'TIL IT'S A
PRETTY LITTLE DEAD BEAR
WHAT IT WAS BORN TO BE...
'CAUSE NO-ONE LOVES
A PRETTY LITTLE DEAD THING
NO-ONE LOVES A
PRETTY LITTLE DEAD THING
NO-ONE LOVES A PRETTY LITTLE
DEAD THING MORE THAN ME...
