Jealous Dogs
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.
Those jealous dogs, always on the alert
Tattle tale rights
They'll take your back and leave your shirt
Like that jealous bitch
Always wanting more
The courts have made her rich
And the click of high heels down the corridor
Jealous, jealous, jealous dogs
Those jealous dogs, detectives every one
Don't be a sucker all your life
She's gonna have you hung
Evidence, evidence, evidence
Suspicion invites treachery
Oh you really got taken
Bringing home the bacon
Jealous, jealous, jealous dogs
Bow wow wow, here come the dogs
Grrrrrr, here come the dogs
Don't lay down, here come the dogs
Stand straight don't slouch
Get down off the couch
You're gonna wet on the couch
Get down, get down
Those jealous dogs, they get worse and worse
Everytime you turn around
They're sniffin' at your purse
Who do they think we are?
What do they think we do?
It's hard to get in the mood
When you're treated like some kind of dog food
Jealous, jealous, jealous dogs
Bow wow wow, here come the dogs
Oh ruff ruff, here come the dogs
Get down, here come the dogs
Mind your leg, roll over and beg
Happy birthday
Merry christmas
