Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Up and down the puppies' hair
Fleas and ticks jump everywhere
'Cause of original sin
Down the hill fell Jack and Jill
And you came tumbling after
'Cause of original sin
[PreChorus]
Rip away the tears
Drink a hope to happy years
And you may find
A lifetime's passed you by
[Chorus]
What would you say?
(Don't drop the big one)
If you a monkey on a string
(Well, don't cut my life line)
If you a doggie on a chain
(Don't bite the mailman)
What would you say?
[Verse 2]
I was there when the bear
Ate his head, thought it was a candy
Everyone goes in the end
Knock, knock on the door
Who's it for? There's nobody in here
Look in the mirror, my friend
[PreChorus]
I don't understand at best
I cannot speak for all the rest
In the morning rise a lifetime's passed me by
[Chorus]
What would you say?
(Don't drop the big one)
If you a monkey on a string
(Well, don't cut my life line)
If you a doggie on a chain
(Don't bite the mailman)
What would you say?
[Verse 3]
Every dog has its day, every day has its way
Of being forgotten
"Mom, it's my birthday", would you say
What could you say?
What would you say?
[Verse 4]
I was there when the bear
Ate his head, thought it was a candy
Everyone goes in the end
Knock, knock on the door
Who's it for? There's nobody in here
Look in the mirror, my friend
[Outro]
I don't understand at best
Cannot speak for all the rest
In the morning rise a lifetime's passed me by
What would you say?
