Dog`s Life Lyrics

Dog`s Life lyrics

Shuffling down the street with his

  sideways feet,

Stopping now and then and he'll

  stop again,

No doubt in his mind where he's going.

He doesn't care for his hair or his teeth

And if the truth were known he's a bit

  of a thief,

Innocently lies, and it's showing.

Who'd imagine he's man's best friend.

Knowing he's your friend in the end.

Won't be around when you shout

  or swear

Not very sorry, he doesn't care;

God knows why we call him old faithful.

Pat him on the head, give the dog a

  bone;

Use a friendly tone, he won't leave

  you alone.

No one understands like old faithful.

Early rise.  Is it wise?

Wonders happen now and then.

Eats his fill, time to kill,

Then goes back to sleep again.

Trusty slave, bold and brave,

And he roars like a lion

But in fact, it's an act,

And the truth is that he isn't

No one understands it's a dog's life.

Chases dreams, so it seems

He shines in his master's light.

Looking good, so he should

For the choice is very narrow

No one understands it's a dog's life.

Repeat:  Shuffling down the street, etc.



Note:

A backhanded tribute to our roadies;

our musical parody could only be drawn

to a wily old dog.  Surely two more

unmatched sounds as the Regal

(a medieval reed organ) and string

section could not be found, but they

seem to successfully convey the whine

of both dog and roadie.
