Please, Can I Keep It? Songtext
von Laura Linney

*Door opens* HEY MOM!
Come into the kitchen and close your eyes! *door shuts* I′ve brought you home a big surprise! ...
Isn't it adorable?
Okay, boy...
Now SIT. ...
Sit...
Sit...
Nevermind...
Please can I keep it?
It followed me home.
It seems to be sad, and alone.
Oh, please can I keep it?
Its friendly and shy, and I don′t have a pet of my own.
Please please can I keep it?
It followed me home.
What exactly it is, I don't know.
Oh, please, can I keep it, its lost and afraid, and I'm sure nowhere to go.
I could find it a bowl, and give it some food whenever it needs to be fed...
Or I maybe won′t have to.
It seems very smart.


See?
Its helping itself to our bread! ...
Really helping itself to our bread...
And some fruit...
ALL the fruit...
Now the juice...
And the flowers...
And...
The vase...
Wow...
Please can I keep it?
Its fur is so soft!
Though I know it is shedding a lot.
It can sleep on my floor, (if it fits through the door) it can sleep in the hallway if not!
OH PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE can I keep it?
Its thumping its tail, it has such a loveable whine...
Please can I keep it?
Just LOOK at those eyes...
I think it would love to be mine.
I know it would love to be mine...
And yours...
Say yes.
Oh please?
Oh PLEASE?
OH PLEASE?
Oh please?...*
Ohhhh pleeeeeeeeeease.*
