oh - I really think we DO need to do a "Song Challenge!" Singaround at FSGW getaway weekend....but if they put it on the schedule I'll have to work on my phrasing...I can just hear and the taste of beer I know so very well floating out across the dusky evening...

To the tune of "The Jug Of Punch"
One pleasant evening in the month of May
I was on my rambles, down Toronto way
To scavenge scraps of the humans' waste
An enticing smell made me up my pace
Tooralooraloo, tooralooraloo
Tooralooraloo, tooralooraloo
To scavenge scraps of the humans' waste
An enticing smell made me up my pace

No airline food on this cargo crate
But dry dog food, being flown as freight
So I checked in for my long-haul flight
Eating doggie biscuits at cruising height
Tooralooraloo, tooralooraloo
Tooralooraloo, tooralooraloo
So I checked in for my long-haul flight
Eating doggie biscuits at cruising height

But on arrival, my trip went sour
I sat on board several weary hours
Until it dawned, and my blood ran cold,
I was a prisoner inside the hold
Tooralooraloo, tooralooraloo
Tooralooraloo, tooralooraloo
Until it dawned, and my blood ran cold,
I was a prisoner inside the hold

To ease my panic, I then took stock
I was caught between a hard place and a rock
I had food enough to cause no sweat
But I sorely lacked the stuff that's wet
Tooralooraloo, tooralooraloo
Tooralooraloo, tooralooraloo
I had food enough to cause no sweat
But I sorely lacked the stuff that's wet

And then kind Providence took a hand
As I chewed distractedly on a can
My teeth did rupture, out flowed a pool
Of a liquid brew that was golden cool
Tooralooraloo, tooralooraloo
Tooralooraloo, tooralooraloo
My teeth did rupture, out flowed a pool
Of a liquid brew that was golden cool

It eased my thirst and it eased my mind
I sang and danced, left my cares behind
I guzzled on until I was drunk
As my fellow mammal, the smelly skunk
Tooralooraloo, tooralooraloo
Tooralooraloo, tooralooraloo
I guzzled on until I was drunk
As my fellow mammal, the smelly skunk

And as I languish in Praha zoo
I pray each night for my rescue
Someone to take me away from here
To feed me biscuits and serve me beer
Tooralooraloo, tooralooraloo
Tooralooraloo, tooralooraloo
Someone to take me away from here
To feed me biscuits and serve me beer
