This is a Sad NaPo cheat since Years ago, when I was playing music and making records, I wrote this–kinda for kids. I was working with young people those days and today I couldn’t find either the lyrics or the recording so some of these are fudged due to time and memory constraints.
My dog digs in the back yard dirt
Down through the topsoil then up on my new white shirt
My dog rolls in the mud,
he’s a pig having fun,
he’s still paying his puppy dues
My dog
My dog whimpers at 6 am
Nothing too urgent, will I pay attention to him
My dog runs through the house
He’s a devil in hell
He’s an angel with new wings
My Dog
My dog reads, but it’s just my mind
Ready for anything- most of the time
My dog drinks from the toilet
Throws up on the carpet
Oh-no—please don’t mark it!
My Dog
Late at night when everybody sleeps
my dog dreams his virtuosity
My dog sings and he plays guitar
He waits til we leave –he’ll wave to the car
My dog howls at the moon
He is perfectly groomed
He is singing a different tune
My Dog
(Howling Here)
Late at night when everybody sleeps
My dog dreams his virtuosity
My Dog
