THE BALLAD OF FANG

©1998 Shelly Craig

C. Shells – “Animal Tails”  CD/Cassette

 

1.  Fang was born on a stormy night. Pink and bald and looking for a fight

     Fang grew up fast and he grew up mean

     The meanest hamster this pet store’s ever seen

     Ooh, wah…ooh, wah

 

CHORUS:  Well, dang (dang)  Dang that Fang (Dang that Fang)

                 That hamster is fighting again

                 Ooh, wah…ooh, wah

 

2.  Little Nikki came into the pet warehouse

     Trying to decide between a gerbil and a mouse

     Fang bit her fingers, one, two, three,  and she said

     “This hamster’s for me!”

     Ooh, wah…ooh, wah

 

3.  Fang had a weakness for playing the wheel

     All night long it would squeak and squeal

     Poor little Nikki couldn’t get any sleep

     Listening to that wheel go squeak

     Ooh, wah…ooh, wah

 

4.  Early one morning much to our surprise

     Underneath the wood chips before our very eyes

     Were eight baby hamsters fighting with each other

     Pink and mean, just like their mother

     There was Fangoleen and Fangoline, Fangolette and Fanentine

     Fangula and Fangenstein, Fang, Jr. and Ginger

     Ooh, wah…ooh, wah

 

5.  Now in the hamster world there’s a sad, sad truth

     He who lives by the tooth will die by the tooth

     And the dog that watched that hamster cage each and every night

     Put Fang away in just one bite

     Ooh, wah…ooh, wah

 

CHORUS: Well, gone (gone),  dog gone (dog gone)

                We’ll remember Fang in this song

                Well, gone (gone), so long (so long)

                We’ll remember Fang in this song

                Ooh, wah…ooh, wah
