[Verse 1]
I was home last night, trying to read a book
There was a knock on my door, so I took a look
But when I reached the door, there was no one there
Not on the porch, or anywhere
But in the dark of night, I heard a cry
Like somebody was about to die

[Chorus]
It went a oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh, mmhmmm
It went a oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

[Verse 2]
I heard a noise, so I looked around
There it was, standing on the ground
From the moment that we met
I really wanted it for my pet
It looked at me, with eyes so true
Then I knew it'd love me too

[Chorus]
It said a oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh, mmhmmm
It said a oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
[Verse 3]
I loved it so much, I wanted to nab it
With a fine leap, I tried my best to grab it
But this thing moved, faster than a rabbit
I tried and tried, I knew I had to have it
It ran from me, I tried to call it back
It started runnin' cross a railroad track
It slipped and fell, I heard it cry
I covered my eyes as a train roared by
I went back home, I was feeling bad
It would have been the fist that I'd ever had
My heart was low, I couldn't do a thing
But when I heard my telephone ring
I picked it up, put to my ear
I heard a voice so sweet and clear

[Chorus]
It said a oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh, mmhmmm
It said a oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh, mmhmmm
It said a oh-ooh-oh-ooh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, mmhmmm
It said a oh-ooh-oh-ooh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, mmhmmm
It said a oh-ooh-oh-ooh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, mmhmmm
