Songtext zu 'Waggy Tail Dog' von Maria Muldaur

I know you’re down and out
You don’t even know how to spend a dime
All you know how to do
Is just whine and dine;
I wish you could understand,
That i’d gladly lend a helping hand,
Oh, if i could, little buddy, don’t you know i really would?

Livin’ in a small apartment,
My landlord don’t allow no pets.
Little buddy, if i take you in my house,
You’re surely gonna put me out.
Way in the middle of the night,
You come a-scratchin’ around my door
Waking me up from a deep deep sleep,
Just to serve you a bite to eat.

You’re just a happy little nobody’s waggy tail dog,
Happy little nobody’s waggy tail dog,
Don’t have a home, just lookin’ for a bone;
Everywhere i go, you’re just tagging along.

Tagging along,
Tagging along.
Tagging along.

Turning on my outside light,
There you stand, a-wagging your tail
I bust out soul, put something in your bowl,
Just as much as your belly can hold;
And it’s all because of you,
I don’t sleep like i used to do.
The alarm clock says it’s time to get going,
But i just lie there snoring.

You’re just a happy little nobody’s waggy tail dog,
Happy little nobody’s waggy tail dog,
Don’t have a home, just lookin’ for a bone;
Everywhere i go, you’re just tagging along.

In the life you lived before,
You must have stayed with the king and queen,
But in this life today, i know,
You’re the hungriest little dog i’ve seen;
Pretty soon, i’m gonna buy a home
Little buddy, then I'll take you in.
A place to lay your head,
And a yard where you can play in.

You’re just a happy little nobody’s waggy tail dog,
Happy little nobody’s waggy tail dog,
Ain’t got a home, always lookin’ for a bone;
Everywhere i go, you’re just tagging along.

Tagging along...
