I have three friends I like to watch sleeping
They are a trio of the finest souls
They work together to make good friendship
And when they dream I dance and sing so low
I climb the walls and bounce right off the ceiling
I hide in laundry and behind the books
I cannot read them and I don’t care too
As long as they will bring me water and fruit
I am GIZMO, the flying squirrel
Safe in my little room
I am GIZMO, the flying squirrel
Chaser of darkness and gloom
I have a garden full of dried flowers
I throw them all around my room with care
I am indeed a great and mighty warrior
So don’t disturb me when I’m sleeping there
I dance across the curtain rod so easy
They cannot do the things I always do
They let me lick their empty liquor bottles
Then “naked mommy” is the game I choose
I am GIZMO, the flying squirrel
Safe in my little room
I am GIZMO, the flying squirrel
Chaser of darkness and gloom
Sometimes new friends come in and see me playing
I watch & see their eyes fill up with fear
“Get him away!” they cry, and run out screaming
They hurt my feelings and they just don’t care
Then mommy holds me ‘till I feel all better
My broken heart starts pumping joy again
NEW LIFE! NEW LIFE! With every breath I’m feeling
And somewhere someone is in love again.
