THE DOGS' MEETING
Sung by Bill Boundy of Lithgow, New South Wales, in Folk Songs of Australia (John Meredith and Hugh Anderson)
Oh, the dogs once held a concert, they came from near and far,
Oh, some they came by aeroplane and some by motor car.
Before into the concert hall they were allowed to look,
Each dog had to take his (knock, knock-knock) and hang it on a hook.
Oh, each dog had to take his (knock, knock-knock) and hang it on a hook.
Oh, hardly were they seated there, each mother, son and sire,
When a dirty little yeller dog began to holler, "Fire!"
Out they rushed in panic -- they didn't stop to look --
Each dog he grabbed a (knock, knock-knock) from off the nearest hook.
Each dog he grabbed a (knock, knock-knock) from off the nearest hook.
And that's the reason why you see, on walking down the street,
Each dog will stop and swap a smell with every dog he meets.
And that's the reason why a dog will leave a good fat bone
To go and smell a (knock, knock-knock) in hope to find his own.
To go and smell a (knock, knock-knock) in hope to find his own.
