I tried to set this to the tune of 'Robin Hood and Little John' from the Disney animated movie 'Robin Hood' from way back in the 70's - the one that goes "oo-de-lally, oo-de-lally, golly what a day."
Peabody and Little Miss, checkin' out the kitchen Knockin' over the trash can to get the treats inside When caught, he runs out the back door to escape friction While she jumps on the counter to find a place to hide Peabody and Little Miss, explorin' out back So many socks to bury, so many balls detected! She sees the tiny bird and goes on the attack While he warns, "This is MY yard - it will be PROTECTED!" Peabody and Little Miss didn't always get along Little Miss was a gift of long-ago Christmas morn When Peabody arrived last year, she hissed, "You don't belong!" But now they are as close as brother-sister born Peabody and Little Miss are ready for their cat-nap Satisfied with everything they left topsy-turvy So Peabody launches his forty pounds into my lap And Little Miss follows him up, delicate and curvy Peabody and Little Miss are true collabarators Leaving chaos in my house that's now two times greater!
