[Verse 1]
Saw my life go flashing past
In the eyes of a faithful friend
Four legs, for life
And the screeching tires never seemed to end
[Chorus]
I will change if Lester lives
Not messin' 'round
Just 'cause I own him
He was nearly wiped away
But he had good luck
And strong bones
[Verse 2]
You make me clench my teeth
Us humans ain't got dignity
Eat my plants and steal my things
'Cause you're the head of security
[Chorus]
I will change if Lester lives
Not messin' 'round
Just 'cause I own him
He was nearly wiped away
But he had good luck
And strong bones
Inside and behind him
I will change if Lester lives
Not messin' 'round
Just 'cause I own him
Saw my life go flashing past
In the eyes of a faithful friend
Four legs, for life
And the screeching tires never seemed to end
[Chorus]
I will change if Lester lives
Not messin' 'round
Just 'cause I own him
He was nearly wiped away
But he had good luck
And strong bones
[Verse 2]
You make me clench my teeth
Us humans ain't got dignity
Eat my plants and steal my things
'Cause you're the head of security
[Chorus]
I will change if Lester lives
Not messin' 'round
Just 'cause I own him
He was nearly wiped away
But he had good luck
And strong bones
Inside and behind him
I will change if Lester lives
Not messin' 'round
Just 'cause I own him
