Lyrics
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
Rip away the tears
Drink a hope to happy years
And you may find
A lifetime's passed you by
What would you say?
Don't drop the big one
'Cause you're a monkey on a string
Well, don't cut my lifeline
If you're a doggie on a chain
Well, don't bite the mailman
What would you say?
I was there when the bear ate his head
He 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
I don't understand at best
Cannot speak for all the rest
In the morning I rise
A lifetime's passed me by
What would you say?
Don't drop the big one
If you're a monkey on a string
Well, don't cut my lifeline
If you're a doggie on a chain
Don't bite the mailman
What would you say?
Every dog has his 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?
I was there when the bear ate his head
He 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
I don't understand at best
Cannot speak for all the rest
In the morning I rise
A lifetime's passed me by
What would you say?
