Oh, Mister vet, my pet is very sick.
Can you make him better, quick, quick, quick ?
Put him on the table, I won’t be long.
Soon I will tell you what is wrong, wrong, wrong.
I’ll look at his eyes, his ears and his nose.
I feel his tummy and his toes, toes, toes.
Now let me see.Your pet’s not very ill.
We can make him better with a pill, pill, pill.
So take him home and keep him warm, wrapped up like in a glove.
And don’t forget to give him lots of love, love, love.
