Lyrics

I've been teaching my dog new tricks
Rolling over and fetching sticks
But I rarely listen to my own advice
when it comes to living a real dog's life
I ain't got much to complain about
But my mind's always spinning like a roundabout
And a little bit lately I've been feeling blue
And I haven't really known what to do
So I had a chat with my faithful friend
He's a wise guy who comprehends
And he's got it all kind of figured out
And he's gonna teach some tricks to me
(this is what he had to say folks)
Enjoy a walk in the park
And Take a good shit in the woods
Dig a hole just because you wanna
Then dust yourself down with a roll in the mud
Be careful who's butt you sniff
And don't bite the hand that feeds
Try not to stray too far from home
Or you'll end up in the weeds
(all pretty sensible stuff if you ask me)
There's two dozen hours in the day
But those doggie years they just fly away
I've been chasing my tail and keeping balls in the air
Now shaggy dog has started losing his hair
I only want to play around with my pack
Or anyone else that has my back
I'm just not in the mood for those who waste my time
Or bark at the tweeters on the power lines
You may yap, you may whine
Sit around howling all the time
But my dog has got it all figured out
And he's gonna teach me how
(Give me some more of you wise words Bo Diddley)
Have a good run on the beach
And enjoy chasing the ducks
Breath fresh air while it's free
Before big tech charges us a couple of bucks
Take in the scent of the flowers
And inhale the sap of the trees
Have a good lick and have a good scratch
And you'll see what I mean
(But that wasn't all he had to say)
Don't let the big dogs push you around
Or kick you off the couch
Enjoy the feeling of the sun on your back
While you're hoovering up after a BBQ lunch
Lap it up and wolf it down
Without a shadow of doubt
(but most importantly)
Live your life in the here and now
With your balls hanging out
