Hamsterdamsel
Words and Music by Christopher White
Hamsterdamsel, Hamsterdamsel,
You were my girl.
We lived in the land of Gerbilia,
With our friend Cedric the Squrrel.
We would dance and sing,
All through the Spring,
Down in the Netherworld,
And we'd frolic in the plastic,
That Jane's advisor hurled.
Oh, Hamsterdamsel, Hamsterdamsel,
La la la la la!
Hamsterdamsel, Hamsterdamsel,
Those were fine days that we saw,
Hamsterdamsel!
Hamsterdamsel, Hamsterdamsel,
It was you and me.
Like leopards in Aladdin's lamp,
We were oh so free!
We lived a life of luxury,
But never paid no tax.
And we kept our money in a tree,
Enclosed in leather sacks.
Oh, Hamsterdamsel, Hamsterdamsel,
It was oh so fine!
Hamsterdamsel, Hamsterdamsel,
You were yours, and I was mine!
Hamsterdamsel!
Hamsterdamsel, Hamsterdamsel,
Now those days are gone.
And our constant laughter is eclipsed,
By a long, drawn-out yawn.
But it don't matter at all,
Because I've got my memories,
Of hording cash in big oak trees,
And making like birds and bees.
Oh, Hamsterdamsel, Hamsterdamsel,
La la la la la!
Hamsterdamsel, Hamsterdamsel,
Those were fine days that we saw,
Hamsterdamsel!
