Dog Lyrics by Jake Thackray

Jake in a Box disk 4

0

I'm just a dog, I get a lot of fun
There's an awful lot of fun in the fun-ctioning of human love
I'm just a hound, but I have been around
Madam, I have found, I've always found a jest
In the gestures of romance

There was a lady once who fell in love and taught her doggy
Of the high romance with which her life was now infused
He was faintly puzzled for he found her notions foggy
It must've been the language that the lady used

I'm just a dog, I wonder what the heck
Well really, what the heck, this hecstasy of human love
I'm just a brute, I couldn't care a hoot
Madam, I'm a dog and I see through the mist
The mysteries of romance

You must confess it's messy and a bit unnecessary
The preliminary etiquette would bore me stiff
I'm inclined to find the ceremony rather phoney
Courtship between dogs consists in one swift sniff

I'm just a dog and I dislike the cant
Why is there so much cant in these canticles of human love?
I'm just a brute, I couldn't care a hoot
Madam, I'm a dog and I don't get the mess
The message of romance

While you're contemplating it, awaiting it and hating it
And over-complicating it, it's bound to pall
Dogs see much less in it, they get cracking and begin it
It's a matter of a minute and then up tails all

I'm just a dog and I dislike the con
Why is there so much con in this constancy of human love?
I'm just a brute, I couldn't care a hoot
Madam, I'm a dog and I don't like the lie
The lifetime of romance

She was marvellous, was Isabel, and it was thrilling
When I met her in the corporation park one day
So without a fuss we had a smell and she was willing
And so there and then I put her in the family way

I'm just a dog and I prefer the sin
By far the biggest sin, the cynical approach to love
I'm just a hound, but I have been around
Madam I have found, I've always found a dog
In the dogmas of romance
