Preferably with links that play the melodies so readers can sing along.

(TUNE: “Baby, It’s Cold Outside”, Frank Loesser)

I went to the store …
   You fools, I’ll destroy you all!
Ain’t seen this before!
   You fools, I’ll destroy you all!
A gerbil or squirrel …
   I’m gonna destroy the world!
It’s so darn small …
   I’ll rule you all, at least this mall!

While on my way to the grocer,
   Careful, now, don’t come closer!
It tried to obstruct my path …
   Cower or face my wrath!
I simply walked on around,
   Bravely, I stand my ground!
I’m in a rush today!
   Darn, another one got away!

Hey, watch where you go!
   Surrender or you’ll be killed!
You’re moving so slow …
   Hey, this took me hours to build!
It must be a prank,
   My replica Leopard tank …
Some kind of joke!
   Now all my plans go up in smoke!

I got too much stuff to do …
   I’m gonna conquer you!
So long, it’s been really fun …
   Holy crap, the cops, I must run!
It kinda was cool …
   Stop laughing, you fool!
 DANA will rule you all!

Ferret or gerbil, hamster or a rat
Whatever, I’m not getting close to that
What is it doing in a
In a tank?

It’s terrorizing lovely Midway Mall
Quick, give Security the code-red call
Must stop this menace in a
In a tank

Maybe I’m crazy to suppose
Narbonic Lab did this, but it made those
Gigantic gerbils that ate the mayor and
Robbed a bank

I would say Dana looks like the next front
It’s the invasion of the angry runt
Menacing us from in a
In a tank

Won’t someone save Elyria, our pride
From a great mob of rodents all wild-eyed
Or must we flee from Dana
In a tank?
