New Dog

heard you got a new dog
he don’t know nothing but those same old tricks
roll over and play dead won’t fetch you nothing but that chewed up stick

you think his bark is bad just wait til he tries to bite
better leave him tied up in your back yard and let him howl all through the night

he sure can look cute when he sits up and starts to beg
but he’ll just drool all over your face and start getting funny on your leg

you thought he’d be your best friend save you from being all alone
but he’s just scratching fleas all day at night he’s out there
burying that bone
