Song:
A G D C
I bought a gerbil at the petting zoo.
A G D C
If Richard Gere can do it, I can, too.
A G D C
I get undressed, I start to lube.
A G D C
I stick the gerbil in the end of the tube.
D A
Wondering just how he'll feel;
D A
will he like it better than his little wheel?
D A
Careful now he's right beside me.
D A
One more inch and he's inside me.
DAD A D A D A
Go, Gerbil, go!
D A D A
Burrow harder, burrow deeper!
D A D A
Be my little chimney sweeper!
D A D A
One thing I forgot about:

A G D C
So now my gerbil’s on easy street.
A G D C
It's warm and cozy and there's plenty to eat.
A G D C
The situation is beyond my control.
A G D C
Gotta find a way to get him out of his hole.
D A
I try crowbars, I try wires.
D A
I almost had him with a pair of pliers.
D A
I tried cheese but he's not biting.
D A
I wish this wasn't so exciting.
DAD A D A D A
Go, gerbil, go!
D A D A
Jesus, I am such a sucker!
D A D A
Please get out you furry f*cker!
D A D A
I think I am getting ill.
C N/C
Suddenly, he's very, very still
A G D C
Now it's too late my gerbil died.
A G D C
I guess I have committed gerbicide.
A G D C
Here's some advice, it's very clear cut:
A G D A G D C A
if you love your gerbil, don't stick him up your butt.
