The Dog Lyrics by Grey DeLisle

0

[Verse One: Grey DeLisle]
When I say I'll be leavin'
Best be believin'
I swear this is really the end
As I pack my belongings
You know I'll be longing
For kisses from woman's best friend
I'm tired of begging
For scraps while you're sipping
And sneer like the bump on a log
Cry in the driveway
But don't hit the highway
'Cause dang it, I can't leave the dog
[Chorus: Grey DeLisle & Ray Benson]
I can't leave the dog
Such a pitiful tale
I'm serving my time here in dog years
Chained up in jail
[Verse Two: Ray Benson]
I'm sick of your whining
And wining and dining you
Hoping you'll throw me a bone
I'm happier letting
My friends on the TV
Watch me eat McRibs and get stoned
I dream about going
Somewhere you're not known
Living life high on the [?]
But I dry out my tears
For them brown fluffy ears
Dang it, I can't leave the dog
[Chorus: Grey DeLisle & Ray Benson]
We can't leave the dog
Such a pitiful tale
We're serving our time here in dog years
Chained up in jail
[Spoken: Ray Benson & *Grey DeLisle*]
Ain't it more like a pound?
*Hush, you dirty old hound*
[Verse Three: Grey DeLisle, *Ray Benson* & **Both**]
The fireflies are buzzing
And I've baked a dozen
Corn biscuits for our little friend
*You know he loves fetching
And you sure look fetching
Tonight on that short leash's end*
Lipstick on your collar
I ain't gonna holler
And scare all the crickets and frogs
*Don't chase me away
I promise not to stray
'Cause darling*, **we can't leave the dog
[Spoken: Ray Benson]
That damn bitch
