COME HOME, LITTLE DOGGIE
|
||
By Lucillus
|
||
Dedicated to Dog
|
||
(Sung to the tune of "Autumn to May")
|
||
|
||
Oh, once I knew a little dog,
|
||
As scrawny as could be
|
||
He got so drunk that late one night
|
||
He joined poor Anglesea.
|
||
And every day we hear the yell:
|
||
"Swordbrother, come to me!"
|
||
Now where, oh, where, has doggie gone?
|
||
Where could that deadbeat be?
|
||
|
||
Yell, Hendrick, yell!
|
||
Call your doggie home!
|
||
|
||
Well, once we lost him in the straw
|
||
In KinderFodder camp
|
||
They would not let us leave that night
|
||
Said: "Don't forget that scamp.
|
||
The one you buried in the straw
|
||
And hoped we would not see
|
||
For we have problems of our own
|
||
We don't need Anglesea's."
|
||
|
||
Hide, doggie, hide!
|
||
Drag your carcass home!
|
||
|
||
But worst of all he does corrupt
|
||
So many younger boys
|
||
A thirteen year old got drunk one night
|
||
And Finn said: "What's that noise?
|
||
You stupid Dog! What have you done?
|
||
Go take him home right now!
|
||
For if he stays we will get blamed
|
||
And I will tell them how!"
|
||
|
||
Run, Doggie, run!
|
||
Take that poor boy home!
|
||
|
||
|
||
And late one night he was convinced
|
||
The trees were closing in
|
||
He grabbed poor Ursus by the shirt
|
||
And went along with him.
|
||
He begged: "Please don't leave me alone!
|
||
Stay with me all night!"
|
||
The minute Ursus turned his head
|
||
Dog was gone from sight.
|
||
|
||
Hide, Doggie, Hide!
|
||
I hope the trees get you!
|
||
|
||
You know that Doggie thinks that he
|
||
Is liked by one and all
|
||
He'll say just what you want to hear
|
||
And come at right your call.
|
||
Unless, of course, his kinsman shouts
|
||
Then he's nowhere to be found
|
||
And soon as Hendrick leaves the camp
|
||
You'll soon see him around.
|
||
|
||
Why, Doggie, why?
|
||
Can't you stay at home?
|
||
