Lyrics

I've been leaving on my things
So in the morning when the morning bird sings
There's still dinner on my dinner jacket
'Til the dinner bell rings
Experimental dog
Salivating dog
Good dog
Waiting for the dinner bell to do the bell thing
Dinner bell, dinner bell ring
I've been leaving on my things
So in the morning when the morning bird sings
There's still dinner on my dinner jacket
'Til the dinner bell rings
(Experimental dog)
I don't want a pizza
I don't want a piece of peanut brittle
I don't want a pear
(Salivating dog)
I don't want a bagel
I don't want a bean
I wouldn't like a bag of beef or a beer
(Good dog)
Or a cup of chowder, corn, cake, or creamed cauliflower
'Cause I'm waiting for the dinner bell to do the bell thing
Dinner bell, dinner bell ring
Shoulder, bicep, elbow, arm
Forearm, thumb, wrist, knuckle, palm
Middle, pinky, index, ring
Dinner bell, dinner bell ding
(Experimental dog)
I don't know whether I'd rather be having a bottle of vinegar
I don't know whether I'd rather be having an egg
(Salivating dog)
I don't know whether I'd rather be having an order of bacon
Or whether I'd rather be having a basket of garlic bread
(Good dog)
I don't know whether I'd rather be having some pie
Or saving my appetite
'Cause I'm waiting for the dinner bell to do the bell thing
Dinner bell, dinner bell ring
I've been leaving on my things
So in the morning when the morning bird sings
There's still dinner on my dinner jacket
'Til the dinner bell does the bell thing
Dinner bell, dinner bell, do the bell thing
I'm waiting for the dinner bell to do the bell thing
Dinner bell, dinner bell, ding ding ding
Waiting for the dinner bell to do the bell thing
Dinner bell, dinner bell, ding ding ding
Waiting for the dinner bell to do the bell thing
Dinner bell, dinner bell ding
