It's been a while since I sent this, so I thought I'd send people a new copy!
 
    "Jingle Ferret"  (tune:  "Jingle Bells")
 
Dashing through the house
Ferrets are at play
Frolic-rollick everybody get out of our way!
Noses in the air
See what we can find
Hurry up, the two-leg-geds are following behind!
   oh. . .
Fa la la, ha ha ha, bottle-brush my tail
If those humans catch us they'll just pop us in the jail
You go here, I'll go there, we'll put them in a rage
How much can we steal before we're put back in our cage?
 
Dashing through the house
Ferrets making merry
Trying to make off with all the objects we can carry
Bells on collars ring
Shining silver-bright
Oh what fun, the masked marauders on a raid tonight!
  oh. . .
Fa la la, ha ha ha, ferrets on the town
Trying to make off with everything that's not nailed down
   oh. . .
Sneaky thieving weasels, we dance and jump for joy
Oh what fun, the whole world's just one great big ferret toy!
