Children and dogs

Now I'm outside freezing to death Just walking the dog

Instead of throwing myself at my wife I'm throwing a log

We haven't slept for two nights He howls out at the moon

The kid says sometimes he bites Can you bring a bunny rabbit home soon

Make you trip over your ankles Do all kinds of things that rankle

Make you wanna go and drink a tankful And remember when you were single

The bedroom's got two carpets And one sticks to your clothes

Let's take a photo of all of us Fixed grins in a family pose
