Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Dogs' Meeting: great Australian folk song
I tried to send this once - I'll try again.
I performed this a capella with Charlie Weiner on his Twelve inches of Weiner album back in the mid-70's in the Cleveland area. The tune was the church's one foundation.

The lyrics went like this:
The doggies had a party. They came from near and far.
And some dogs came by taxi and some dogs came by car.
And each dog wrote his name all in a little book.
And each dog hung his a__hole upon a separate hook.

One dog was not invited and that aroused his ire.
He ran into the party and loudly shouted, "Fire!"
And each dog ran outside and didn't stop to look
But grabbed a separate a__hole from off a separate hook.

This is a very sad story for it is very sore
To wear another's a__hole you've never worn before.
And that is why the doggies on land and sea and foam
Will smell each others a__hole in hopes it is their own.

I've performed it since and folks always seem to enjoy it. If you have a version you'd like to share, e-mail me at ckoppelb99@hotmail.com - Thanks, Chris
