(To the tune of Oh my Darlin' Clementine)

I sat waiting at a bus stop with my hamster by my side
we were off to see my granny looking forward to the ride

Oh my hamster oh my hamster oh how happy you must be
Although captive I'll protect you in this land so wild and free

As we sat there in the shelter nibbles running on his wheel
running fast but getting nowhere working off his midday meal

Oh my hamster oh my hamster oh how happy you must be
Although captive I'll protect you in this land so wild and free

Then the bus came round the corner Nibbles stopped and looked in awe
For he'd never ever travelled on a public bus before

Oh my hamster oh my hamster oh how happy you must be
Although captive I'll protect you in this land so wild and free

When we boarded how his nostrils fairly trembled with delight
And the driver smiled a welcome like I always hoped he might

Oh my hamster oh my hamster oh how happy you must be
Although captive I'll protect you in this land so wild and free

The drivers eyes the glinted brightly as I handed him my fare
He said "another 10P or I'll leave that hamster there"

Oh my hamster oh my hamster oh how happy you must be
Although captive I'll protect you in this land so wild and free

... I guess it could go on forever!
