The Dogs, They Really Miss You Lyrics by Austin Lounge Lizards

Employee of the Month

1998

I know the day you left, you said, "Let's never talk again"
But I'm not calling for myself; I'm calling you for them
Our little ones who wait at home, heartbroken and upset
And though they don't remember much, they can't seem to forget
The dogs, they really miss you
They're different since you said goodbye
They brood, they pout, they feel put-out
If they could speak, they'd tell you how
They're too down to play around
They hardly touch their meals
The dogs, they really miss you
And I know just how they feel
Their tails don't wag, their hearts won't heal
They blame themselves that you're astray
They're sorry that you felt tied down and never learned to stay
Molly's nose is warm and dry since she sat and watched you pack
She figures that you must be lost and can't find your way back
And Scooter's just a basket-case
He won't accept my calls
His squeaky toy lies silent
He's lost interest in his balls
The dogs, they really miss you
They're not themselves since you're not here
They sleep all day, watch TV all night
They drink way too much beer
They've seen Old Yeller forty times
They bathe less than they should
The dogs, they've stopped their poker games
Hoping you'll come home for good
You know how they hate to beg
But the dogs are really blue
Because they really miss you
And you know that I do, too
Wa-wa-wa-ooh
