Roll Over / Play Dead

What's a dog to do When he doesn't have his day When his teeth grow long Start to decay And his tummy aches And so does his head Should he roll over or play dead What's a dog to say When he howls alone And there's no one home To throw him a bone And he wants his lead But he's been misled Should he roll over or play dead How's a dog to know When he needs a new stitch When he needs a new girl When he needs new tricks His coat is black His blood is red Should he roll over or play dead How's a dog to feel In his final doggy years When he gets that old itch Just behind his doggy ears Should he wish to himself That he'd never been bred As he rolls over And plays dead
