The Ballad of Dog Dually INVOCATION TO AMUSE MEANT “Bite Me, I need the money” CHORUS Hang down your head Dog Dually Hang down your head and bite Hang down your head Dog Dually You’re heading for a fight. Walking to our campground Thru Pleasure Trailer Park I didn’t hear you coming I didn’t hear you bark. You saw my blue jeans passing A glint was in your eye Your teeth started flashing They landed in my thigh. ‘Son of a bitch,’ I hollered This gal came running up ‘Dually didn’t mean to hurt you. He’s just a sweet little pup’. ‘Let me see his papers And his rabies tags If my skin is broken I’ll sue your sorry ass’. CHORUS ‘I’m really very sorry. Here’s a hundred bucks If it gets infected You can call me up’. There are morals to this story There are lessons to this song Don’t mess with a Rotweiller If you want to live real long. They’ll jump and attack you Without giving you a hunch They’ll take some skin in passing And fang you very munch. Bite me I need the money That’s my rally cry. It’s a tough way to earn a living Be careful not to die. With no apologies to Doc Watson and his fine version of Tom Dooley. arf arf voyager |
