LYRICS - Erwin's Other Animals

Erwin Schrodinger, physicist and lover
Famous for imagining a half dead cat
This cat was in his mind, but he left a trail behind
Of all the other animals that he got at

Young Erwin took his sister’s hamster and he put it in a box
Taped it up carefully and wrote “Schrodinger’s Hamster” on the top
He tiptoed out of their front door
And threw it off the 18th floor
Now we don’t let little Erwin near the cat

Erwin took his school’s white mice and put them in a ziplock bag
Hid them in the canteen freezer, behind the Turkey Twizzler packs
He came back for them at half past five
But they’d already been served up in a pie
Now we won’t let little Erwin near the cat

Now you know his evil ways, would you still give him the Nobel prize?
Erwin Rudolf Schrodinger, serial pet murderer
If you see him near a stray dog, call the RSPCA but
Don’t let little Erwin near the cat
