William Finn - My Dogs lyrics

[MAN TWO] I had a little dog His name was on his collar His ears felt like a rug I bought him for a dollar I'd bathe him in the sink Each day the dog got sicker I gave him milk to drink I also gave him liquor Oh, my dog with his funny little face Ran around this rundown place And one day, he died My dog, god I miss him My dog, I would kiss his head And he'd sleep with me in bed I got another dog I painted this one leopard I named it "Leopard Spot" He was born a German Shepherd We'd laugh that dog and me I'd tell the jokes, he'd snicker We'd sit beneath the tree I'd read him Rin Tin Tin and Flicker Oh, my dog, playfully he'd misbehave He was young and strong and brave And one day, he died My dog, I'm here crying My dog, he's lying at the vet's That's what comes of loving pets! I had a Suss** Spaniel Called it Daniel But his name was Trudy And she died too soon Then got a Schipperke Loved that dog unashamedly It was freshly washed! When it got squashed Like a dog in a cartoon My next dog me no like A Dandie Dinmont was he I used to toss the canine from my bike His name was Mr. Fuzzy I tried to change his size I pushed his face in flatter I pinched and squeezed his eyes But it really didn't matter Oh, my dog, stupid little Dandie D I loathed it and it loathed me It lived forever! Oh, god, life's ironic Oh, god, I'm a catatonic guy Why's it only dogs I love that die? My dogs
