lyrics

THERE’S A DOG IN THE HOUSE

I
THERE’S A DOG IN THE HOUSE AND HE HASN’T GOTTA CLUE THAT HIS WHOLE DAMN WORLD IS JUST A BONE

THERE’S A DOG IN THE HOUSE BARKING TO THE MOON (HE) PINES A PIECE OF CHEESE HIS DAY LONG DONE

THERE’S A DOG IN THE HOUSE BELIEVING FAIRY TALES WAITING FOR HIS TRUE BLUE PRINCE TO COME

THERE’S A DOG IN THE HOUSE AND AND HE HASN’T GOT CHANCE THERE’S NO WAY HE’S EVER GETTING WHAT HE WANTS

II
THERE’S A DOG IN THE HOUSE HAUNCHING ON HIS HEELS PRAYING FOR HIS KNEES HIS BONES ARE OLD

THERE’S A DOG IN THE HOUSE (AND HE’S) WAGGING ROUND HIS TAIL (BUT)STANDING AT ATTENTION ALL ALONE

THERE’S A DOG IN THE HOUSE BEGGING ON ONE LEG HOLDING TIGHT TO HOPE’S ONE CRUMBY CRUMB

THERE’S A DOG IN THE HOUSE (AND) HE DOESN’T STAND A CHANCE THERE’S NO WAY HE’S EVER GETTING WHAT HE WANTS
