So interesting how this little song changes with time and place
Growing up in Michigan my dad taught us the following:

The dogs had a big convention
They came from near and far
Some came by railroad
while others came by car

Before you could enter this hall of fame
Or even take a look,
The dogs had took their hinders (hind end)off
And hung them on a hook

The dogs were nicely seated
When some dirty liar
Caused a great commotion
By yelling Fire Fire!

The dogs all rushed to the hallway
And there by random took
And some dirty dog's hinder
Was left hanging on a hook

Now when you see a little dog
Leave a great big juicy bone
And go sniff another dog's hinder
You'll know he's looking for his own.
