LYRICS
Knowing I love you
Knowing you love me, too
Gets us through the things we have to do
I love you

Know what I mean
Got to cook and clean
When the spaces in between
Are seen

To fill the spoon and fork
Got to do all kinds of work
Almost more then one can take
… but when we get a break….

LYRICS
When I look deep in your eyes
See the depth of beauty
An old soul… beyond wise
Be, in depth, the beauty
Big… and dark… and deep
Into my heart you seep
All your previous lives
Culminate in surprise
… deep in your eyes

When I look deep in your eyes
See the depth of reality
An old soul… beyond wise
Being in depth reality
Into our I’s
Deep in our eyes

LYRICS
Strong enough
Hang tough
If ever there’s a dilemma
I need pulled through
I always know
I can count on you
You’re strong enough
To pull me through
I can count on you
You get a grip
And won’t let go
Then, let ‘er rip
Pulled to from fro
You know
You go
Pulled to to from fro
Hold the tight rope
And won’t let go
Hold out all hope
Pulled to from fro
I know…
You’ll go
Pulled to to from fro
You’ll come to my rescue
Pull me through
I can count on you

LYRICS
Never seems too hard
Being on guard
Just comes natural
As my catch-ya-all
Let out your secret talent

Been gold starred
For being on guard
It’s my nature
That’s for sure
Let out your secret talent

If awry should go anything
I’m your alarm bell… sure to ring
Let out your secret talent

When evil does lurk around
This hound will keep you save-and-sound
Let out your secret talent
Do what it is you’re meant
Find out what it’s all about
Let it out

LYRICS
Pat on the back
Gotta like that
Zig-zag
Wag
The tail
(It’ll never fail)

Matter of fact
Gotta love that
Zig-zag
Wag
The tail
(It’ll never fail)

I’m so happy to see you
Hoping you feel the same way, too
Can’t help my tail from wagging
Start to wail. I’m singing.
If you wonder why
It will perplex
Can’t try not to blink your eye
Must be a reflex
Zig-zag
Wag
The tail
(It’ll never fail)

bookmark_borderPeople Watching

LYRICS
Sitting here watching the people go by
Making me pause to wonder why
Watching them
Watching them watching me
I am
I see
Sitting here watching the cars go by
Driven insane on the way to die
Watching them
Watching them watching me
I am
I see
Putting on mile-age to earn a wage
Forgot their gauge on how they age
Watching them
Watching them watching me
I am
I see
Sitting here watching the traffic
Their own “exhaust” makes ’em sick
To spite their face, cut off their nose
Never stopping to smell a rose
Watching them
Watching them watching me
I am
I see

bookmark_borderFriendly Advice

LYRICS
Rubbing the fut the wrong way
He’ll likely run away
Lost, lonely… becoming stray
On the hand, might just bleed
The hand that feeds

And it’ll never fail
Grabbing him by the tail
Setting sail, going to wail

Kicking a dog when he’s down
Unlikely that dog will stick around
On the hand, might just bleed
The hand that feeds

Try taking his food away
Probably not the right day
He might have nothing to say
Or maybe he’ll run away
On the hand, might just bleed
The hand that feeds

bookmark_borderThe Tale Of Rabbit

LYRICS
When you hear that metal clinging
Like an alarm bell ringing
The thunder of the paws
Going to eat you raw
You better run rabbit run rabbit run

With your heartbeat pounding
Toward the corner rounding
Within a hair of the hare
Gonna getcha… almost there
You better run rabbit run rabbit run

Before your innards come undone
This could be your last day under the sun
Bunny, better not be dumb
After all, he’s just doing it for fun
You better run rabbit run rabbit run

Lose the battle, his war won
Think you missed the starting gun
Will reduce your hide to none
Unless it’s life you shun
You better run rabbit run rabbit run

Make your hole the goal
Or all the sooner…
Lucky foot dinner
You better run rabbit run rabbit run

Inspired by Nemo, the puppy dog, discovering the water’s edge.
LYRICS
Watching the water a while
Listen to the waves roll in (Rollin’)
A hypnotic style
Will begin
The sign or the sine
Wave by by
To time… I’m….
See-side
At the Ohhh-ocean
Bide no time
Ride the tide
The rhythm of the beat
Auto-tapping feet
Syncopation
Sensation

LYRICS
I’m more like you
You know it’s true
More like you
Not a matter of “want to”
Though bizarre
We are
At the core
Omnivore
Eat, the heart beats

As for love, true
Through and through
Not just animal
Both mammal
Hair and teats
Deeds and feats

Human says:
What are you eating under there
Are you aware
What you’re eating under there?
Dog replies:
Underwear? Why do you stare?
Underwear? Relative to where?

Human says:
What are you eating under there
Do you even care
What are you eating under there
Eat it raw. Eat it rare.
What you’re eating under there?
Dog relies:
Underwear? Why do you stare?
Underwear? Relative to where?

Human says:
What are you eating under there
Why wont you even share
What you’re eating under there?

World’s best deal
Universal appeal
Coated in custom fur
Yes, it’s real
Zest and zeal
Comes in a him or her
Glad that I’m keeping canine time
Seven times the time

You listen well
You’ve got beautiful ears
All concur
Stroke that fur
Gone troubles and fears
Glad that I’m keeping canine time
Seven times the time
In the time of canine

Do you want to go for a ride
Race to your favorite place
Do you want to go for a ride…
In the car?

Stick your head out the window
On our way to chase a shadow
I’m sure you’re bound to see
Some Hers n’ special She
I’ll play guitar, but you’ll be the star
Jump! It isn’t that far
Do you want to go for a ride
Race to your favorite place
Do you want to go for a ride…
In the car
Near or far?

bookmark_borderThe Foreigner

LYRICS
French Poodle, German Shepherd
Feeling foreign to me
Might as well be a spotted leopard
Or monkey swinging in a tree
I think Im starting to understand
We’re all from a foreign land
At the time given birth
On a ride they call Earth

English Sheepdog, Irish Setter
On my own and all alone
Send a sign, write a letter
Homesick without leaving home
I think i”m starting to understand
We’re all from a foreign land
At the time given birth
On a ride they call Earth

Boston Terrier, Siberian Husky
It’s all Chinese to me
Might as well be some sort-of monkey
Eating bananas, swinging from a tree
I think i”m starting to understand
We’re all from a foreign land
At the time given birth
On a ride they call Earth

What’s in a name
Is it one and the same
Don’t ask me
They call me therapy
If I could
I’d make you feel good
You know I would
Help the misunderstood

What’s in a name
Is it one and the same
Don’t ask me
They call me therapy
Whenever I can
I’m man’s best friend
I’ll be your fan
’til the bitter end

What’s in a name
Is it one and the same
Don’t ask me
They call me therapy
The best pet to pet
Forget what you regret
You know what they say
Everything will be OK
