Big Dog

BIG DOG, BIG DOG,
YOU MAKE MY LIFE SO HARD.
YOU PEED ON MY TREE
BUT YOU WON’T SLEEP IN MY YARD.
YOU’RE SCRATCHING AT MY SCREEN DOOR, DAY AND NIGHT.
BUT YOU WON’T EAT FROM MY HAND.
SOMEWHERE, SOME GAL
GIVES YOU LOVIN’ THAT’S CANNED.

YOU WAKE ME UP EARLY WHEN
YOU HOWL AND YOU WHINE.
IF SOMEONE IS FEEDING YOU,
THEN, SHOULDN’T YOU BE FINE?

BIG DOG, BIG DOG,
YOU BROKE YOUR LEASH AND RAN.
WHO TREATED YOU MEAN, POOR BOY?
I’LL LOVE YOU ALL THAT I CAN.
I TRY TO PET AND COMFORT YOU, OH, NO.
IS SOMETHING MAKING YOU TENSE?
THERE’S YOUR HIND FEET
FLYING OVER MY FENCE.

NOW, WHAT IF A BIGGER DOG
CAME SNIFFING AROUND?
YOU SHOW ME A BIGGER DOG
IN THIS BIG, BAD TOWN.

BIG DOG, BIG DOG,
DON’T MAKE YOUR HEART SO HARD.
BOY, DON’T MAKE ME BEG.
COME HOME AND SLEEP IN MY YARD.
HEY, FELLA, YOU CAN TELL THAT OTHER GAL
YOU’LL ONLY EAT FROM MY HAND.
BIG DOG, BRAVE DOG,
I KNOW YOU CAN.
THAT’S MY BIG DOG.
YEAH, YOU’RE MY MAN.
