The Real Mckenzies - My Mangy Hound lyrics

Somebody's lunch was scattered Round the playground A mangy hound Was draggin' it around We laughed, we laughed Cause some poor s**er Had lost the lunch He was given by his mother My soul will burn eternally For in that lunch was stuff Mum made for me, for me The custodian was called to the scene She looked at me and read me Like a magazine She laughed, she laughed Until she discovered The nice lunch I was given By my mother Was torn and shredded hopelessly And the dog had ate my lunch Mum made for me, for me I was the kid With the spotty brown banana I had a lunch With a liverwurst sandwich But now they're gone Scattered all around the playground By a dirty old mangy hound Much later, safe in my room I heard an animal Howling at the moon I laughed, I laughed Until I discovered The dog that ate my lunch Was howling for my supper My soul was filled with sympathy From that night on that dog Has lived with me And I got something better My best friend now Is that mangy hound
