Thread Name: Lyr Req: Little Gomez (Eric Bogle)
Subject: RE: Little Gomez
Actually, I'd quarrel with some of the lyric on that site. Instead of:

Two very patient poodles and an Irish Labrador
And a woman who just happened to be passing
I tried every way to curb his carnal appetite
I kept him on a leash by day, I locked him up at night

Copied from Eric's songbook I have:

Two PLEASED AND patient poodles and an OUTRAGED Labrador
And a WOMBAT who just happened to be passing
I tried every way to curb his carnal appetite
I kept him on a LEAD AT day, AND locked him up at night

"Wombat" being pretty much local to Oz, I substitute "squirrel"
Hope this helps.
