lyrics

A head pops up from a hole in the ground,
With ears that are crescent-shaped and eyes that are round,
And the edges of its mouth pulled up in a grin,
And wrists held close to its chinny-chin-chin,
And a look so innocent and frightened and sweet
That you’d think it the friendliest creature to meet,
And you’d never suspect that an animal like that
Could murder its mates at the drop of a hat.

Meet the meerkat.

The meerkat
Is no mere cat.
In fact, it’s not a cat at all.
To further its cause
It has sharp curvy claws
With which the meerkat can maul
Any meerkat baby
From its community
Who presents its own kids a threat,
Then, mean as can be,
It’ll eat it for tea.
How cruel can a carnivore get?

Meet the meerkat.

The head pops up from a hole in the earth
Of a lucky meerkat who wasn’t eaten at birth
But though they may have shocking ways of settling their disputes
Boy oh boy are they cute!

Meet the meerkat.
