You can't live with 'em, you can't live without 'em
There's somethin' irresistabullish about 'em
We grin and bear it 'cause the nights are long
I hope that somethin' better comes along

It's no good complainin' and pointless to holler
If she's a beauty she'll get under your collar
She made a monkey out of old King Kong,
I hope that somethin' better comes along

Ah, but what could be better than a saucy Irish setter
When puppy love comes on strong?
Or a collie that's classy, a laddie needs a lassie,
A lover and wife gives you a new leash on life

I don't mean to scare ya, my friend, but I betcha
Come "Father's Day", the litter bug's gonna getcha;
The urge is righteous, but the face is wrong
I hope that somethin' better comes along

Still, it's fun when they're fetching,
And agree to see an etching
That you keep at your lily pad
There is no solution, it's part of evolution,
You'll sooner hear the souls,
The little feet of tadpoles

(Ah, Rowlf, tadpoles don't have feet!)
(Oh Sorry about that 2, 3, 4)

There's no limitation to mixin' and matchin'
Some get an itchin' for a critter they've been scratchin'
A skunk was badgered the results were strong
I hope that somethin' better,
I hope that somethin' better,
I hope that somethin' better comes along
(Beep bop bidder da dum dum bum bum bum!)
