Knew I had a dog song somewhere

[intro]

[solo brass band]

[verse 1]

People stuff their faces till,

they've ate too much and feel sick.

Never know when you got all you need,

like me, my dog, and a stick.

[chorus]

So stop and look around you,

what you built brick by brick.

Tell me you feel better than,

me, my dog, and a stick.

[verse 2]

They don't call it a rat race for nothin'

even the rat's have got more brains.

Than to fight over something that'll kill ya,

pollute the earth, and block ya drains.

[chorus]

So stop and look around you,

what you built brick by brick.

Tell me you feel better than,

me, my dog, and a stick.

[verse 3]

What ya do when you got everything?

Nail it to a wall and admire the view?

Or pile it up one mile high,

to stop the rest from getting at you.

[chorus]

So stop and look around you,

what you built brick by brick.

Tell me you feel better than,

me, my dog, and a stick.

[verse 4]

The richest man in the world

Is the one with nowhere to fall

Cos he's got one thing you'll never have

no worries about losing it all

[chorus]

So stop and look around you,

what you built brick by brick.

Tell me you feel better than,

me, my dog, and a stick.

[bridge]

When your sittin in your gold cage,

and all around you's gettin' sick

Consider those who are better off,

like me, my dog, and a stick.

[chorus]

So stop and look around you,

what you built brick by brick.

Tell me you feel better than,

me, my dog, and a stick.

[outro]

Never know when you got all you need,

like me, my dog, and a stick.

    Dang! Just when I thought I was the queen of dog songs, lol! Or, StoneFlowers, the king.. Very interesting and unique, Sid how you used man's best friend in this song! My favorite is V4; reminds me of Bukowski's Monday's Millionaires (I think that's the name of one of many of his gritty poems). And I love the happy-go-lucky music! Very cool groove! Lovin' it! Wishin' I wrote it, even! 😜 Now, I be dancin' in my livin' room . . .

    Now, I gotta dig for more doggie songs!

  • Wow what a heart warming story of devotion...fortunately, I know how to cry.

  • Very true! A dog and a stick go a long way! Good fun song with a deceptively simple message
