Lyrics
Top Dog
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.
If my face....
Ain't the top face on your totem pole
Then I won't be on your totem pole at all
If I can't be Top Dog then I won't be no doggie at all
If I can't play....
First fiddle in your orchestra
Then I won't play no fiddle at all
If I can't be Top Dog then I won't be no doggie at all
I just can't settle for a second place medal
No, I just won't be shoved in to a second string love
If you decide....
That you'll keep me 'round for just a stand-by
Then I'd advise you to call the whole thing off
If I can't be Top Dog then I won't be no doggie at all
