I'll Take the Dog
Well we just left the courthouse this morningAnd the judge said we could go our separate waysAnd everything we own must be divided just like the separation papers sayYou can keep the curtains and the tables and the chairsAnd all those dirty dishes in the sinkWell you can take that golf club and the television setAnd that lawnmower that's always on the blinkYou can keep all the records and the hi-fi setYou can take that phony fireplace and the logNow you keep the car you keep the boat and I'll take the dogNo I'll take the dog oh no I'm gonna take the dogWell who's gonna bring me my paper who's gonna keep me companyYou'll just have to give him up no I ain't a partin' with the pupThe dog belongs to meNow hold on Ray you ain't gonna take this dog away from meI'm the one that feeds him every dayAnd who always takes care of him when he's sickNow wait just a minute Jeannie I guess that you forgetWho it was that always took him to the bedPaid for all of them shots of seven bucks a lickYou can just forget about him I ain't leaving you without himThen you'll just have to stay I guess that's the only way okayI'll give back the curtains and the tables and the chairsAnd I'll wash the dirty dishes in the sinkAnd I won't take the golf clubs and the television setAnd I'll fix that mower that's always on the blinkLetras de cancionesWe'll both listen to the records on the hi-fi setBy the fireplace with this gas burnin' logWe'll go ridin' in our car and we'll go sailin' in our boatAnd we'll both take the dog yes we'll both take the dogCome on baby (huff huff) From Letras Mania
