Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Yet another cog
“Do you mind if I pet your dog?”
Do you know what I mean
He’s his own being
He’s not my dog
He’s not my dog

No, he’s not my property
He’s as free as free can be
Believe me
He does as he please
He frees!
He’s not my dog
He’s not my dog

Release your soul from a noose
Set your heart and mind loose
Do I mind if you pet my dog?
Take your memory for a jog….
He’s not my dog
He’s not my dog
He does as he please
He frees!
He can start to free your heart
And to your mind be kind
(Man’s best therapy
Free as free can be)

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Now, I’ve learned how to roam
Maybe I’ll never go home
How I love the city lights
Might stay out through the night
But I hear my love calling me home
Don’t want to live life all alone

Now better than given a bone
Is learning how far I can roam
How I love the city nights
The lights… so bright
But I hear my love calling me home
Don’t want to live life all alone

All you lasses bound with chains
Now we can catch the freedom train
Bound for the promised land
Where humans understand
Can you hear the love calling us home
Don’t want to die here all alone

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Here I thought you were deep in sleep
Not an itch… you begin to twitch
Seems you’re chasing rabbits in your dreams
Dreaming

Do you dream in black and white
Do you dream all through the night
I mean… wondering what you dream
Scheming, dreaming

Can you smell a cat and mouse
Did they infiltrate the house
Can you dream a silent scream
Meaning
In dreaming

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Soft and warm while lying
Under the setting sun
Just a break from trying
This day is far from done
Run on

Don’t worry that the light goes dim
Soon the moon will dawn
Chances are far from slim
And time is far from gone
Run on

Even on the darkest night
There’re stars shinning bright
Queen’s protected your pawn
The universe is calm
Run on

bookmark_border(Don’t Go) Chasing Cars

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Careful with your “wish for’s”
Mindful of the four doors
Noooo… don’t go chasing cars
Catching one mars and scars
Ends your life
Brings on master strife

Use to have a gal
My best pal
Watched a fender bend her
How I cry and cry

Look out! What the #uck
Here comes a dually 2-ton truck
Crazy dog’s run amuck

Playing between yellow lines
Finds you tip-toeing through mines
Noooo… don’t go chasing cars
Catching one mars and scars
Ends your life
Brings on master strife

bookmark_borderMixed Breed

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
The problem when you’re purebred
Is you’re likely brain dead
Yes, indeed
When you inbreed
(ole’ gene greed)
Sorry to perplex
A tad too complex
Better to mix
Yes, indeed
To be mixed breed
You’ll concede
Go on take a stab
Yes, a lil’ lab
And I’ve found
There’s some hound
When they through a fit
’cause you’ve got some pit
The bit of pit
Call their bull, dog
Who’s the hog?
Yeah, they’re full
Of it

Inspired when puppy looked across the way and saw a Trump banner hanging on the neighbors house.

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Curious to know
Where your thoughts go
Curious to know
What you know
Believe me
If I could see
The I’s
Through your eyes
Then, again
Does a human
Look like dog or man?
If I could see
What you see
When you look at me
I’ve got four paws
All with claws
Two eyes and a nose
Who knows?
Here goes!

bookmark_borderThree Dog Night

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
The dog days of summer
Are coming to a close
The dog days of summer
You remember those
You know if Fido begs
Tail between legs
There’s nothing you can do
… but let ’em go
Soon those winter nights
Will be getting plenty cold
If calendar told
Another year old
Bring on the three dog night
We’ll be alright
Holding you
The way I do

ABOUT THE SONG
A three dog night is thought to be a phrase originated by Australian Aborigines meaning “a night so cold you will need to take three dogs to bed with you to stay warm”.

Posted on by admin

Coversong
Written by Rufus Thomas
Made famous by Rufus Thomas, The Rolling Stones and Aerosmith

A7
Baby, back
Dressed in black
Silver buttons all down her back
High hose, tippy toes
A
She broke the needle and she can sew
            D
Walking the dog        A
I'm just a walking the dog
       E7
If you don't know how to do it
     D7                       A7
I'll show you how to walk the dog
C'mon now c'mon

I asked her mother for fifteen cents
I see you ever jumped the fence
I jumped so high, touched the skies
Didn't get back 'til a quarter to five
Walking the dog

Tell me Mary, what's your twelve
How does your garden grow
What with silver bells and cockle shells
And pretty maids all in a row
Walking the dog
(repeat 1st verse)

LYRICS
Did you hear that noise
When I hear that noise
Strike a pose with poise
When I hear that sound
I turn around
Strike a pose with poise
Before making a noise
Not ’til I find out
Do I shout out
I’ve got my eye on you
There’s not much you can do
Suppose it’s time to break the pose
Take off running
For you gunning
You get to watch
’cause you’re the catch
Now fetch!

LYRICS
Call it insane
How you can complain
Hard to explain
Your years remain
For every one
I get seven
While you get to run
I’m in heaven
All dogs run with gods
Hope you farewell well

All of my fears
Are in dog years
As mine draws near
Your path is clear
For every one
I get seven
While you get to run
I’m in heaven
All dogs run with gods
Hope you farewell well

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Somebody spilled my drink
And I’m starting to know
I think
Pause in awe
Guilty paws
No surprise
I can tell by the look in your eyes

Somebody ate my shoe
And I’m starting to think
It’s you
Pause in awe
Guilty paws
No surprise
I can tell by the look in your eyes

Somebody spilled my drink
And I’m starting to know
I think
Somebody drank my drink
And it’s starting to show
I know
Somebody fumbles n’ stumbles
Bet if you could you would mumble
Pause in awe
Guilty paws
No surprise
I can tell by the look in your eyes

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Why don’t you throw the dog a bone
You leave ma all alone!
Yeah, give the dog a bone

I don’t think I ask that much
You can skip the bath and such
You leave me all alone
Why don’t you throw the dog a bone?

I’ve got this itch I just can’t scratch
No, I don’t think I need another bath
You’ve got a rodent or rabbit, I’ll catch
It’s like 1+1… do the math
Why don’t you throw the dog a bone?

I lick your floor ’till clean and more
And do you realize how I fertilize
Why don’t you throw the dog a bone
You leave ma all alone!
Yeah, give the dog a bone

LYRICS
During the day nobody misses…
No, no one misses…
You more than me
In the morning, I’ll wake you with kisses
Guess that’s what’s meant to be

Forget bane, vinegar, pisses
I can offer you sanity
In the morning, I’ll wake you with kisses
Guess that’s what’s meant to be

Thankful of life’s blisses
Comforting you comforts me
In the morning, I’ll wake you with kisses
Guess that’s what’s meant to be

Turn out the light
I’ll get in tight
Keep your warm
On a winter’s night

LYRICS
I don’t care if you’re an atheist
Or feel you’ve been “God blessed”
Here’s some love
Unnnn… conditional (love, love, love)
Lots more love
Unconditional (love, love, love)

I don’t care if you have bad hair
Or if there is hardly any there
Here’s some love
Unnnn… conditional (love, love, love)
Lots more love
Unconditional (love, love, love)

I don’t care how you politic
If it makes me ill… if it makes me sick
Here’s some love
Unnnn… conditional (love, love, love)
Lots more love
Unconditional (love, love, love)

I don’t care if there’s toy’s in the attic,
Skeletons in the closet,
A sports fanatic,
Or a leakin’ faucet
Here’s some love
Unnnn… conditional (love, love, love)
Lots more love
Unconditional (love, love, love)
