Lyrics

I'm a tiny dog named Dixie
I have small feet which pitter-patter on the linoleum floor
You can hear my toenails
In the middle of the night
My tag says I belong to the Johnsons, but they don't own me, they just feed me
They just bought me one day
No one owns me
I am Dixie the tiny dog
And in the middle of the day, I sit in the sun
And I hear young children call me a wiener dog
Perhaps that's what I am, the Germanic term is Dachshund and I like that
I'm thin and I'm proud, no one can make fun of me
I can slip through the bars of a prison if I were ever incarcerated
But I don't know what I would do wrong
My body yields no evil inclination
I'm a pure wiener dog
My name is Dixie and I go dancing ‘cross the floor
In the evening of the Johnsons when everyone is sleeping
Sometimes I look for a morsel of food but they’re so clean
They’re almost anal-retentive in their cleanliness habit
And there’s nothing for me
But I don't despair
Because I know tomorrow my Gaines-Burgers will be there
And they will unwrap the plastic from them
And then feed me this succulent dish and I will eat
And oh I've watched the German shepherds with their long necks
Their graceful necks dipping into the toilet to drink whenever they want
To have a drink of cool water in that well
But I must plead, I must beg, I must whine for Mr. Johnson to put out my bowl
Or one of the Johnson boys to refill it after I drink it
Because I am Dixie the dog and I like water
And in the middle of the night
You can see me dancing a small Fred Astaire tap dance with my little toenails
They go click, click, click against the linoleum
And I run down the hall and I slide
And the back of me goes in front of me
Slowly
I'm long and I'm thin
I'm Dixie the tiny dog
And I like it
