What Would You Say
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Up and down the puppies' hair
Fleas and ticks jump everywhere
'Cause of original sin
Down the hill fell Jack and Jill
And you came tumbling after
'Cause of original sin
Rip away the tears
Drink a hope to happy years
And you may find
A lifetime's passed you by
What would you say
Don't drop the big one
If you a monkey on a string
well Don't cut my lifeline
If you a doggie on a chain
Don't bite the mailman
What would you say?
I was there when the bear
Ate his head, thought it was candy
Everyone knows in the end
Knock knock on the door
Who's it for, there's nobody in here
Look in the mirror my friend
I don't understand at best
And cannot speak for all the rest
The morning rise a lifetime's passed me by
What would you say
Don't drop the big one
If you a monkey on a string
well Don't cut my lifeline
If you a doggie on a chain
Don't bite the mailman
What would you say?
Every dog has its day
Every day has it's way
Of being forgotten
Mom, it's my birthday
Would you say?
mmm what would u say?
what would u say?
(Instrumental Break...)
I was there when the bear
Ate his head, thought it was candy
Everyone knows in the end
Knock knock on the door
Who's it for, there's nobody in here
Look in the mirror my friend
I don't understand at best
And cannot speak for all the rest
The morning rise a lifetime's passed me by
What would you say?
