Hey Big Dog
Hey big dog
Why are you afraid of the wind?
It will always blow them doors
And windows in
Wind is real
It's always there
Baby big dog
It's only moving air
Hey big mama
Why do you always wait by the phone?
Don't you know that bad man
Will always leave you alone
He likes to say he will
But he never says when
I will bite him
If he comes around again
We're silly creatures
Who need teachers
We got problems
Can we solve them together?
Ooooh, together
Hey big dog
Why do you howl at the moon?
I never heard such a sad
And mournful tune
Didn't you know
The moon is your friend
It's the only one there
For you in the end
Hey big mama
Why you let that man come around?
I don't like the way he looks
I don't like the way he sounds
And I didn't tell you
But he stepped on my tail
And he smells just like he
Like he's fresh out of jail
Stop licking your paws
I like the taste
I am the boss
Squirrels gotta be chased
Don't pee on the rug
Then don't do drugs
You're just a pup
Stop messing things up
We're silly creatures
Who need teachers
We got problems
Can we solve them together?
Ooooh, together
