So long to my dog Snickers, who ate Christmas tinsel So long to Mr. Whiskers, who jumped out of a window And to the family of gerbils who chewed out of their cage And the little brown rabbit I ran over by mistake So long, so long I'll see you on the other side So long, so long I'll see you on the other side So long to the goldfish who ate each others' tails So long to the chipmunk trapped under the stairs So long to the rosebush I never watered
And to whatever was inside that hole that I raked over So long, so long I'll see you on the other side So long, so long I'll see you on the other side So long to the seagull I hit with a rock So long to the squirrel I accidentally shot And to everything I burned with a magnifying lens That long, lonely summer when I was only ten So long, so long I'll see you on the other side So long, so long I'll see you on the other side
