The animal is a chicken (Gallus gallus domesticus).

lyrics

Friend, we need to talk
About your contribution to this household
Let’s take a walk
I know you get cooped up when you’re inside

It’s true, you’ve been known to poop
On our neighbor’s drive, which isn’t great, but we can deal
No, here’s the scoop
You know I don’t charge you rent because you help out with the meals

Every morning I come into your room to find the gift you left in the night
I take it into the kitchen, crack it open, fry it up, and it starts my day out right
But now my friends say you must be getting old
Or else it may be that the weather’s getting cold
But either way
When I looked today
To my dismay, there was nothing there for me

You’re going back on our arrangement
You’re not holding up your end of the deal
I wish that I knew what this change meant
I wish that you knew how this made me feel

To have a deadbeat roommate who only lays around
It’s enough to make anybody sicken
When I looked on your pillow, there was nothing to be found
And you best believe my pulse began to quicken
Do you have something going on that I should know about
Is there some way that the plot’s about to thicken?
Of course you won’t confront me, you’re afraid to talk it out
‘Cause you’re nothing but a big old clucking scaredy-cat

And you’re going back on our arrangement
You’re not holding up your end of the deal
I wish that I knew what this change meant
I wish that you knew how this made me feel

You’re going back on our arrangement
Can’t do the one thing I asked you to do
And if this leads to our estrangement
It’s gonna be a whole lot worse for you
