can I have some pink flamingos
I don't think that they eat a lot
Taking care of them will not be hard
you can't always have what you want
Mommy, can we have an alligator?
We can keep him upstairs in the tub,
I'll do just what you say,
We can start our own alligator club,
you can't always have what you want
Mommy, can I have a bulldozer?
Like the one that's on the side of the road
I love when it makes that sound
Lifts the mud up out of the ground
We can sell dirt by the load
Mommy, can I have a giraffe?
He can hang out in the back
If not a giraffe and a hippopotamus
can't always have what you want
Can't always have what you want
Mommy, can I have a goldfish?
We can keep him in the aquarium
I won't feed him too much every day
I will do just what you say
Having a goldfish sure would be fun
She said, yes, you can have a goldfish
