You need my flesh like they weaned you early

They taught you to pout and threw you out

Now you come to me, knives in your blue eyes and a hungry look

You mangy mutt, with those blue eyes you cut

Get the stray

You howl outside houses

You beg to come in to tear them apart

And then you leave them breathless in bed

Leave you your cupboards bare

You catch a fresh scent in the air

The stray never stays

He bark, he laugh, he runs away

Get the stray

I saw you on the street walking on a leash

Somebody finally picked you up

Put a diamond collar 'round your neck

Now you get your shots

Silver spoon for your gravy train

But you're sniffing everything around

When you sneak out uptown

Bad dog, bad dog

Get the stray

You need my flesh like they weaned you early

They taught you to pout and threw you out

Now you come to me, knives in your blue eyes and a hungry look

You mangy mutt, with those blue eyes you cut

You cut the stray
