Sencillo / Pista
When I was a little girl, my father travelled 'round the world
He'd write about the fascinating things he'd see
But did he ever bring back anything for me?
No, he'd just send me photographs of
Lions, hippos and giraffes
Forget the expeditions, I wanted exhibitions
Something I could feel, something that was real
So take a deep breath, you guessed
I wanted pretty little dead things (woo-ooh)
To hang up on the wall
First I have slay, then I like to flay it and display it
I don't care how big or small
Give me pretty little dead things (woo-ooh)
That's what I want to see
'Cause no one loves a pretty little dead thing more than me
It amazes me that people find it quite bizarre
When seeing creatures in a jar
A kitten or a camel, a reptile or a mammal
Any kind of beast, as long as it's deceased
Take your last breath, oh yes!
All the pretty little dead things (woo-ooh)
Make me feel alive
If you want to see 'em, swap the mausoleum for museum
And I'll happily supply
All the pretty little dead things (woo-ooh)
That you'll ever need
'Cause no one makes a pretty little dead thing quite like me (oh-oh-oh)
Yeah! (Oh-oh-oh)
So when the family pup has had enough (ooh, had enough)
Why not get it stuffed with lots of fluff (ooh, lots of fluff)
Though he's never going to fetch that ball (ooh, fetch that ball)
He'll be great at playing dead in the hall
If you reverse on the neighbor's cat (ooh, neighbor's cat)
I can pump it up in seconds flat (ooh, seconds flat)
From invertebrates to amphibia
I've stuffed an encyclopedia
An ant, a bee, a carp and a dog
Elephants, frogs, two giraffes and a hog
Iguanas and jellyfish, twelve kangaroos
Lemurs and manatees, I'll stuff the zoo
Narwhales and octopi, quite a few quail
Red breasted robins and 17 snails
All kind of tigers, don't care where they're born
If they were real, I'd stuff unicorns
Vultures and worms
Xantus, a yak and a zebra, and we're almost done
I've stuffed and stuffed everything on this planet but one
It has to be (Peruvian)
I need the bear (Peruvian)
Nothing else compare (Peruvian)
Say goodbye, Peru (Peruvian)
I'll send it to oblivion
Where my father failed (magnificent)
I will prevail (she's brilliant)
And once that bear is mine
I'll be the best explorer of all time (ah)
Pretty little dead bear (ah-ah)
Nowhere you can hide (ah-ah)
I'll make it an exhibit, but first I have to kill it
Then fill it up with formaldehyde
'Til it's a pretty little dead bear (ah)
What it was born to be
'Cause no one loves a pretty little dead thing
No one loves a pretty little dead thing
No one loves a pretty (pretty) little (little) dead thing more than me
