Pet your pet don't poke your pet,
And he'll be nice to you I bet.
Don't pull his ears, you'll bring him tears,
Then he will not play-oh, then he will not play.

Kiss your cat and stroke her back,
And she'll be nice to you in fact.
Don't pull her tail, you'll make her wail,
Then she will not play-oh, then she will not play.

If you love your animals, you know just what to do.
Be nice to your animals and they'll be nice to you.

Feed your bird that's what I've heard,
And always use a kindly word.
Don't pull his wing, he will not sing,
Then he will not play-oh, then he will not play.

If you love your animals, you know just what to do.
Be nice to your animals and they'll be nice to you.

Pet your pet don't poke your pet,
And he'll be nice to you I bet.
Don't pull his ears, you'll bring him tears,
Then he will not play-oh, then he will not play.
