Dog's Life

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.

Shuffling down the street with his

Sideways feet

Stopping now and then and he'll

Stop again

No doubt in his mind where he's going

He doesn't care for his hair or his teeth

And if the truth were known he's a bit

Of a thief

Innocently lies, and it's showing

Who'd imagine he's man's best friend?

Knowing he's your friend in the end

Won't be around when you shout

Or swear?

Not very sorry, he doesn't care

God knows why we call him old faithful

Pat him on the head, give the dog a

Bone

Use a friendly tone, he won't leave

You alone

No one understands like old faithful

Early rise. is it wise?

Wonders happen now and then

Eats his fill, time to kill

Then goes back to sleep again

Trusty slave, bold and brave

And he roars like a lion

But in fact, it's an act

And the truth is that he isn't

No one understands it's a dog's life

Chases dreams, so it seems

He shines in his master's light

Looking good, so he should

For the choice is very narrow

No one understands it's a dog's life

Shuffling down the street...

Shuffling down the street...
