By the flanks of Red Rover by my telly I sat down Dad pulled out the rabbit ears the station for to tune And when the show was over we all broke down and cried "Oh Lassie, darling Lassie, never leave me"
Timmy took out his pocket knife and it was long and sharp And he plunged it through (Oh I'm too much of a dog lover. I can't do it)! And he let the credits roll for Red Rover
