Good Dog

Lyrics:

© WanHu
There's tears in my whiskey, your bed is cold and empty on the floor,
When I came home from work this evening
You weren’t there to meet me at the door
Saying "I’ve been a good dog, and you're my best friend
I’ll try to forgive you You weren't with me at the end

I was a good boy, I followed the rules
But sometimes a dog’s got to break out and act like a fool
Around 99.9% of the time
I'm loyal and loving and faithful and true
I honestly just wanna be best friends with you
But I love rolling on grass, the foxier the better
And barking at hedgehogs, the noisy wee feckers
They come out at night when my people are sleeping
The bastards need keeping under control

I don't like driving in your car, I never know how far away from home we are
I have no comprehension of your spacial dimensions
It's not technology that’s scaring me
It's the total disconnect from reality
Yet, at night, with a sleight of your hand
You banish the darkness,
I don't understand but it
more than makes up for your olfactory weakness

I'm an advocate of reason and a master of social cohesion
i kept in good order all the stands of your life
The pack sticks together, forever and ever
I know that I will always be
An integral part of the family
Love in eternity
Your house is full of me
I'm in 12 years of memories

Yes, you were a good dog, I’ll sing you to sleep
The Great Alfredo, Impersonator of sheep
