When I was just a little girl, I had a temper, I confess. A boy looked at me, laughed out loud, And got himself into a mess. He pointed at me with a grin: “Hey, look! The Pink Panther’s here!” I didn’t think that joke was funny, I made that very, very clear! Chorus Oh, Pink Panther, Pink Panther, Who could ever guess? I got so mad when he said your name, But life can make a mess! Pink Panther, Pink Panther, Funny how things go: The one I didn’t want to be Became the one I loved the most! I gave that boy a little kick — Oh yes, I really did! I thought he had insulted me, I was an angry little kid. But then one day I saw that Panther, So clever, funny, cool and pink. I watched the show and fell in love — Life changed my mind, what do you think? Chorus Oh, Pink Panther, Pink Panther, Who could ever guess? I got so mad when he said your name, But life can make a mess! Pink Panther, Pink Panther, Funny how things go: The one I didn’t want to be Became the one I loved the most! Then came the toys, the laughs, the stories, And suddenly I understood: That boy had called me “Pink Panther” — Maybe that wasn’t quite so bad! Years went by, but I remember That little girl who couldn’t see: The Panther she once fought against Would mean so much in memory. Final Chorus Oh, Pink Panther, Pink Panther, Look at us today! You started with a little kick And never went away! Pink Panther, Pink Panther, Now the joke is clear: The character I once rejected Became my favorite through the years! And if that boy could see me now, I’d laugh and simply say: “You called me Pink Panther long ago… And maybe you were right that day!”
