So long to my dog Snickers, who ate Christmas tinsel

So long to Mr. Whiskers, who jumped out of a window

And to the family of gerbils who chewed out of their cage

And the little brown rabbit I ran over by mistake



So long, so long

I'll see you on the other side

So long, so long

I'll see you on the other side



So long to the goldfish who ate each others' tails

So long to the chipmunk trapped under the stairs

So long to the rosebush I never watered

And to whatever was inside that hole that I raked over



So long, so long

I'll see you on the other side

So long, so long

I'll see you on the other side



So long to the seagull I hit with a rock

So long to the squirrel I accidentally shot

And to everything I burned with a magnifying lens

That long, lonely summer when I was only ten



So long, so long

I'll see you on the other side

So long, so long

I'll see you on the other side
