Thread Name: Review: 'Dog' by Tom Dundee (Bryan Bowers)
Subject: RE: Review: 'Dog' by Tom Dundee (Bryan Bowers)
Here's some addtional lyrics and the original words to a couple of different sections:
2nd verse:
Well, I handed the man fifteen dollars about
and said, "I'll just stick him in my shirt and head on out
and reached for the one who looked like a little fox
He said, "You hold it right there and fill out these sheets
have him back in here for shots in a couple of weeks
and it's our policy you take him outta here in this box!"
3d verse:
Then he folded up a cardboard crate in a minute
took my dog and stuck him down in it
pushed on his head and folded in over the top.
I can hear him yet how he scratched and he cried
and he hollared some more when I got him outside
and we were almost home before he decided to stop.
Last line of TD's version verse 3:
And he taught me when to say NO! and I needed that.
Part B of the 4th verse: (TD's original version)
When I've fallen asleep and and I want to roll over
I always think twice about wakin' up the rover
I mean, after all I wouldn't want to wake my dog up!
Tag line after last verse:
Yeah, the whole thing started 'cause it looked like fun
Everybody else had a dog. I wanna get me one I said
and have a little friend around the place.
The original version on 'A Delicate Balance' the dog is a female. So if one wants to remain true to the original include the changes above and change the gender as well.
