At Last! To the tune of Lizzie Borden.The Ballad of Ferretman
In the state of California, Otay Mesa was teh site,
With his four cute furry ferrets, lived a man named Patrick Wright.
And he bought food for his ferrets at the local pet food store,
But alas poor Patrick doesn't have his ferrets any more.
Cause you can't own a ferret out in California,
Not even as a present from tour maw,
No you can't own a ferret out in California
Sacramento says they are against the law.
Now as Pat was fixing lunch one day there came a thun'drus knock
T'wasn't just A timid tapping. You could hear it round the block
With his trusty sushi knife in hand he opened up the door,
Next thing he knew the cops had him spread-eagled on the floor.
Cause you can't owen a ferret out in California
Not vevn if you think they're very nice.
No you can't own a ferret out in California.
Ferret owning is an evil nasty vice.
So they took him to the court house and the judge he heard the tale
They took fingerprints and mug shots and they let him out on bail.
When his case came up for trial,it relieved his darkest fears,
He got sixteen days in prison. Hell,he could have got ten years!
Cause you can't own a ferret out in California,
Not even if you think that they are great.
No you can't own a ferret out in California
You'll have to go live in some other state.
Now he's sitting in the pokey and he's counting out the days
And he's really learned his lesson. Now he knows crime never pays.
And the other inmates found he'd broke the Anti-ferret rule
Now they call him Ferretman and everybody thinks he's cool
Cause You can't own a ferret out in California
They'll catch you and they'll put you in the jail.
No you can't own a ferret out in California
You'll heve to get your mom to go your bail.
If you live in California and you want to keep a pet
Then a ferret is the animal you hadn't oughter get
Theres alot of things that you can have with feather,fur or fin.
But don't try to own a ferret cause someone will tunr you in.
Cause you can't own a ferret out in California,
Although you can own a tiger or a bear.
No you can't own a ferret out in California,
They sure have got some crazy laws out there.
