My pet, how I love her,
My pet, speaking of her,
Say, I bet there's nobody like my pet!

Why pet with another?
My pet, she pets no other,
So I pet with nobody but my pet!

She's so refined, sweet and kind,
Perfect gem,
Has she got it, lots of it
Oh baby, she's got them!

My pet told me cutely,
I'm set, absolutely,
So I pet with nobody but my pet!
