Your Mother Was A Hamster Submariner And Your Father Smelt Of Elderberries

Your Mother Was A Hamster Submariner And Your Father Smelt Of Elderberries

In the cage where I was born
Lived a rat who went to sea
And he told us of his life
In the land of submarines

So we went out to the pool
Where we found a sea chlorine
And we lived beneath the waves
In our hamster submarine

We all live in a hamster submarine
Hamster submarine,hamster submarine
We all live in a hamster submarine
Hamster submarine,hamster submarine

In the interest of accuracy, that’s not a submarine. It’s a submersible, or perhaps a diving bell. A submarine is an autonomous vehicle, not tethered with an airline like this thing, and in the navy where the real subs are, they would never waste something as valuable as a hamster in one, preferring instead to fill them with sailors like my childhood friend Tom K. AKA “Fish.”
