Eleanor GerbilOoo, look at all that chewed-up cardboard!Ooo, what to do with all that cardboard! Eleanor Gerbil, Gnawing away at the edge of another page; Alone in her cage. Look at her working, Moving her castles of paper from here to there Why does she care? Gerbil, gerbil, rearrange. Make everything just so. What she thinks she's going to change, Only she can know. Bobby McDoogle, Slumped in a chair after school staring at TV; What does he see? Someone distracts him. A rodent in motion has broken his cartoon trance. Look at her dance! (Chorus) Ooo, look at all that chewed-up cardboard! Ooo, what to do with all that cardboard! Eleanor Gerbil, Poking her nose through a hole in her plastic cell; What does she smell? Bobby McDoogle, Standing and stepping away from the TV set; Greeting his pet. Gerbil, gerbil, rearrange. Make everything just so. What she thinks she's going to change, She and Bobby know!
