    Title: Give me Cheese
    ttto: Let It Be by John Lennon & Paul McCartney

    When I think it surely isn't mealtime,
    My pet hamster comes to me
    Squeaking words beseeching, "Give me cheese"
    And though I have just fed her,
    She wants more now from me, that's her plea
    Squeaking words beseeching, "Give me cheese"

    Give me cheese, give me cheese, give me cheese, give me cheese
    Squeaking words beseeching, "Give me cheese"

    And if I give in then I know that
    My pet mice will come to me
    Squeaking words beseeching, "Give us cheese"
    Yet they are more polite and
    All of them say to me "Pretty please"
    Squeaking words beseeching, "Give us cheese"

    Give us cheese, give us cheese, give us cheese, give us cheese
    Squeaking words beseeching, "Give us cheese"

    But when I am unhappy
    They all come around and cuddle me
    They are there for me, not just my cheese
    To cheer me up they lick my cheeks and
    Rub their fur across my knees
    Squeaking words beseeching, "Cheer up please"

    I'm their friend. They're my friends. It's not just based on
    cheese.
    I feel blessed; I know they give me ease.

    Guessing a lyricist's opinions from his songs is as futile as
    guessing an author's opinions from his novels.
