Songs about, for and from a dog's point-of-view.
God Spelled Backwards
LYRICS
1) Spent too many days home alone
Waiting on some telephone
Condition of death prone
Chorus:
When it comes to The End
Best thing for heart's mend
Man's best of friends
Maybe man's only friend?
2) People want to stare and gawk
Behind your back talk, talk, talk
Think it's time to take you for a walk
(chorus)
3) People want to chastise me
No, they won't let me be
All you want is the closest tree
(chorus)
4) Oh, oh dog gone it!
Forget the people flaunted
Nevermore to be wanted
(chorus)

Who Is The Bad Dog?

You lay down with humans
You get up with fleas
You lay down with humans
You get up with fleas

Sleeping 'round town
Words goin' round

Run, Dog, Run
YRICS
Though you're just a puppy
It's never too early
Though you're just a puppy
You "Run, Dog, run!"
The moving keeps you happy
Are good and ready
The moving keeps you happy
So, run, Dog, run!
Maybe his bark is worse than his bite
But with a bark like that...
Bite he might
Have you figured out
Confused or in doubt
Have you figured out
You better run, Dog, run
Getting a little close
Close within a nose
Getting a little close
You better run, Dog, run
Maybe his bark is worse than his bite
But with a bark like that...
Bite he might

How I Roll
LYRICS
I don't know what's come over me
Call it loss of control
'cause obviously
It's plain to see
I see $hit and I roll
... that's how I roll
Get the smell of you
Can't help what I do
Found your shoe
Now I'm going to chew, chew, chew
... takes it's toll
I see $hit and I roll
... that's how I roll
When I see your door's smallest crack
My opportunity to attack
Like an electric jolt
Flash! I'm gonna bolt
... the smallest hole
I see $hit and I roll
... that's how I roll
Chords: E / D A E
Set Me Free
LYRICS
Oh, please...
I don't need a collar
I don't need a leash
Makes me wince when you say fence
Hence,
Why don't you see your way to set me free
I hate it when you holler
Promise you I'll cease
Suggested as my best defense
Hence,
Why don't you see your way to set me free
Maybe today is my lucky day
What do you say
Can you find a way
If you let me be
Independently
Why don't you see your way to set me free?
Chords: F# B / C#7 B F#
Baby, Please Don't Go
LYRICS
I don't know ho to get through the day
If you stay home, we can play
As your best friend, I say
Oh, no! Please don't go away
(Baby, don't go away)
When you leave and shut the door
I cry, and I cry for more
As your best friend, I say
Oh, no! Please don't go away
Leaving me tears me apart
I don't know where to start
As your best friend, I say
Oh, no! Please don't go away
When I hear you open the door
I beg, and I beg for more
As your best friend, I say
Oh, no! Please don't go away

Pent-up Energy
LYRICS
Energy just won't relent
No matter how much you've spent
What are the odds of content
Ask the Gods
Pent-up energy
Young dog's strategy
Prepare for release
Forget the "cease"
Running low? No, not a dent
Watch it grow... is as was went
Is borrowed always lent
Hellbent
Sprung from young
Way to stay
Life's foray
The swan sung
Chords: Em G A / D Em; 200 BPM
Here's Some Love

I don't care if you're an atheist
Or feel you've been "God blessed"
Here's some love

I don't care if you have bad hair
Or if there is hardly any there

I don't care how you politic
If it makes me ill... if it makes me sick
Here's some love
Unnnn... conditional (love, love, love)
Lots more love
Unconditional (love, love, love)
I don't care if there's toys in the attic,
Skeletons in the closet,
A sports fanatic,
Or a leakin' faucet

Unnnn... conditional (love, love, love)
Lots more love
Unconditional (love, love, love)

Kisses

During the day nobody misses...

You more than me
In the morning, I'll wake you with kisses
Guess that's what's meant to be
Forget bane, vinegar, pisses
I can offer you sanity
In the morning, I'll wake you with kisses
Guess that's what's meant to be
Thankful of life's blisses
Comforting you comforts me
In the morning, I'll wake you with kisses
Guess that's what's meant to be
Turn out the light
I'll get in tight
Keep your warm
On a winter's night

Throw The Dog A Bone

Why don't you throw the dog a bone
You leave ma all alone!
Yeah, give the dog a bone

You can skip the bath and such
You leave me all alone
Why don't you throw the dog a bone?
I've got this itch I just can't scratch
No, I don't think I need another bath
You've got a rodent or rabbit, I'll catch
It's like 1+1... do the math

And do you realize how I fertilize
Why don't you throw the dog a bone
You leave ma all alone!
Yeah, give the dog a bone

Somebody spilled my drink
And I'm starting to know
I think
Pause in awe
Guilty paws

I can tell by the look in your eyes
Somebody ate my shoe
And I'm starting to think

Pause in awe
Guilty paws
No surprise
I can tell by the look in your eyes
Somebody spilled my drink
And I'm starting to know
I think

Somebody fumbles n' stumbles
Bet if you could you would mumble
Pause in awe
Guilty paws
No surprise
I can tell by the look in your eyes

In Dog Years
LYRICS
Call it insane
How you can complain
Hard to explain
Your years remain
For every one
I get seven
While you get to run
I'm in heaven
All dogs run with gods
Hope you farewell well
All of my fears
Are in dog years
As mine draws near
Your path is clear
For every one
I get seven
While you get to run
I'm in heaven
All dogs run with gods
Hope you farewell well
Chords: A D / A E / A D E A
The Pointer
LYRICS
Did you hear that noise
When I hear that noise
Strike a pose with poise
When I hear that sound
I turn around
Strike a pose with poise
Before making a noise
Not 'til I find out
Do I shout out
I've got my eye on you
There's not much you can do
Suppose it's time to break the pose
Take off running
For you gunning
You get to watch
'cause you're the catch
Now fetch!

Baby, back
Dressed in black
Silver buttons all down her back
High hose, tippy toes
A
She broke the needle and she can sew
D
Walking the dog A
I'm just a walking the dog
E7
If you don't know how to do it
D7 A7
I'll show you how to walk the dog
C'mon now c'mon
I asked her mother for fifteen cents
I see you ever jumped the fence
I jumped so high, touched the skies
Didn't get back 'til a quarter to five
Walking the dog
Tell me Mary, what's your twelve
How does your garden grow
What with silver bells and cockle shells
And pretty maids all in a row
Walking the dog
(repeat 1st verse)
Three Dog Night
LYRICS
The dog days of summer
Are coming to a close
The dog days of summer
You remember those
You know if Fido begs
Tail between legs
There's nothing you can do

Soon those winter nights
Will be getting plenty cold
If calendar told
Another year old
Bring on the three dog night
We'll be alright
Holding you
The way I do
Chords: B E F#
Through Your Eyes

Curious to know
Where your thoughts go
Curious to know

When you look at me
I've got four paws
All with claws
Two eyes and a nose
Who knows?
Here goes!

The problem when you're purebred
Is you're likely brain dead

(Don't Go) Chasing Cars
LYRICS
Careful with your "wish for's"
Mindful of the four doors
Noooo... don't go chasing cars
Catching one mars and scars
Ends your life
Brings on master strife
Use to have a gal
My best pal
Watched a fender bend her
How I cry and cry
Look out! What the #uck
Here comes a dually 2-ton truck
Crazy dog's run amuck
Playing between yellow lines
Finds you tip-toeing through mines
Noooo... don't go chasing cars
Catching one mars and scars
Ends your life
Brings on master strife
Chords: C / Bb F C; 176 BPM Jive
Run On
LYRICS
Soft and warm while lying
Under the setting sun
Just a break from trying
This day is far from done
Run on
Don't worry that the light goes dim
Soon the moon will dawn
Chances are far from slim
And time is far from gone
Run on
Even on the darkest night
There're stars shinning bright
Queen's protected your pawn
The universe is calm
Run on
Chords: Am7 Em7
In Your Dreams
LYRICS
Here I thought you were deep in sleep
Not an itch... you begin to twitch
Seems you're chasing rabbits in your dreams
Dreaming
Do you dream in black and white
Do you dream all through the night
I mean... wondering what you dream
Scheming, dreaming
Can you smell a cat and mouse
Did they infiltrate the house
Can you dream a silent scream
Meaning
In dreaming
Chords: E A D G E
Far From Home
LYRICS
Now, I've learned how to roam
Maybe I'll never go home
How I love the city lights
Might stay out through the night
But I hear my love calling me home
Don't want to live life all alone
Now better than given a bone
Is learning how far I can roam
How I love the city nights
The lights... so bright
But I hear my love calling me home
Don't want to live life all alone
All you lasses bound with chains
Now we can catch the freedom train
Bound for the promised land
Where humans understand
Can you hear the love calling us home
Don't want to die here all alone
Chords: F#m D Bm
Not My Dog
LYRICS
Yet another cog
"Do you mind if I pet your dog?"
Do you know what I mean
He's his own being
He's not my dog
He's not my dog
No, he's not my property
He's as free as free can be
Believe me
He does as he please
He frees!
He's not my dog
He's not my dog
Release your soul from a noose
Set your heart and mind loose
Do I mind if you pet my dog?
Take your memory for a jog....
He's not my dog
He's not my dog
He does as he please
He frees!
He can start to free your heart
And to your mind be kind
(Man's best therapy
Free as free can be)
Chords: A A7 / C D A / G E
Good Dog

When I start to get the blues
You're the first to get the (k)news
You're a good dog
Misunderstood
You're a good dog

When they start to bark at you
Just because you are you
There's not a lot you can do
To help guide them through
When I start to get the blues
You're the bearer of good (k)news
You're a good dog
If they only would
You're a good dog
If they only could
(You know they should)
The world's best therapy
For anything that ails me

Arthur's Dog
King Arthur is a legendary British leader and hero.
According to medieval history, he led the defense of Britain against the Saxon invaders in the early 6th century.
There is still a great debate as to whether Arthur existed or is just a myth.
However, it appears a man name Arthur did live during that time period and that folklore helped keep his memory alive.
The facts that started the legend of King Arthur are:
1) Arthur was a man that lived and led in Britain.
2) Arthur never called himself a king.
3) Arthur loved his dog.
LYRICS
As far as any author
That writes of King Arthur
The only thing they know
Letting his dog go
Broke his heart
When they'd part
Guinevere, my dear
You can't hold a light
The canine time
Gives us might
Broke his heart
When they'd part
No matter how quick
Merlin's magic
You would have to concede
Not up to dog's speed
Broke his heart
When they'd part
Chords: A C D A / Bb A Ab A
The Way The Ball Bounces
LYRICS
That's the way the ball bounces
See a chance, someone pounces
Am I just being think
Is this the short end of the stick
That's the way the cookie crumbles
It's your chance when someone fumbles
Am I just being think
Is that the short end of the stick
Is it up to me
Take advantage of opportunity
Now I'm thinking quick
That's the short end of the stick
Live comes easy
Open eyes see
Chords: C G D / C Em Am
Dogfight!

Dogfight! Dogfight!
On a lark, his bark
Ain't worse than his bite

Those two dogs could play all day
You might talk low
And I know...
Carry a big stick
But in the thick of it
That stick'll do jack$hit
Dogfight! Dogfight!
On a lark, his bark
Ain't worse than his bite
Every one knows get the hose
You gotta spray a round to calm 'em down
It won't hurt
If you give 'em a lil' squirt
Dogfight! Dogfight!
On a lark, his bark
Ain't worse than his bite

Dog Eat Dog World
LYRICS
As my age comes unfurled
Future to the past is hurled
It's a dog eat... dog eat dog eat world
Thinkin' they're at it again
Better put 'em back in their pen
Chances aren't that remote
They'll be at each others throat
Gnawing at the hair on his neck
Teach the meaning of what the heck
Disbelief must have sharpened his teeth
Roll 'em over see what's underneath
Making him bark 'til his lights go dark
Trying to leave more than a mark
As my age comes unfurled
Future to the past is hurled
It's a dog eat... dog eat dog eat world
Chords: A E / D A
Coming Home
LYRICS
It's getting late
Quarter-past eight
Anticipate
Not being alone
I'm sure he'll find his way home
Just can't wait
Half-past eight
Anticipate
Not being alone
I'm sure he'll find his way home
Times all mine
Going on nine
Ain't feelin' fine
Here all alone
I'm sure he'll find his way home
For certain he's on his way home
Then, again
It's almost ten
Seems often
I'm being alone
I'm sure he'll find his way home
For certain he's on his way home
Tongue bite
After midnight
Just ain't right
Still alone
I'm sure he'll find his way home
For certain he's on his way home
He's coming home!
Chords: E A / F# B E

Dig!
LYRICS
Don't ask me what I'm digging for
'cause it's obvious I dig for more
And if you ask me just once more
I'm going to dig and dig for sure
Does it make you feel bigger

Does it pull your trigger
I'm just a meager digger
I dig love
I dig joy

And I've been told you can dig for gold
But I'm growing old
So I dig what I enjoy
I dig love
I dig joy
From above
I employ
Dig what you enjoy

Chasing My Tale
LYRICS
Chasing my tail
The same old tale
So I have found
It does astound
Going round and round and....
Setting sail
It's a fairy tail
Going round and round and....
If you ever feel like you're getting nowhere
Maybe it's because you're unaware
The tale that does offend
Is attached to your very own end
(Leaves you spinning round and round and....)
Is your story about fame and glory
Well after all,
The bigger they come the harder they fall
Your hubris is followed by nemesis
Thus is this...
Transcending
To the happy ending
Going round and round and....
Chords: C G Bb

Situation of frustration
When you're fenced in
Remain in containment
Harbor no resentment
Though you know I can fend for myself
I appreciate your help
It's hard to beat
You feed me the meat
Throw in the bone
Make me feel at home
Though you know I can fend for myself
I appreciate your help
You say walk this way
Let me show you the around
Blow off work so we can play all day
You're the best friend I've ever found
Though you know I can fend for myself
I appreciate your help

Jack Dempsey

You might see clumsy
But I'm much more than that
Fight like Jack Dempsey
Move faster than a cat

Moves faster than a cat

Will be near you...
I'm plowing through

Embark
LYRICS
Tear it up. Rip it to shreds
Send it off with the living dead
Rip it up. Start to tear it apart
'til the living dead know to depart
Embark
What the heck try to break its neck
Total wreck better hit the deck
With grace and taste, diver's arc
Truly a knight of the dark
Embark
Just won't quit. Chomp at the bit
Hit a fit in the stomach's pit
Paws with claws going to leave a mark
Razor teeth will show-up a shark
Embark
Shift out of park
Embark
So, I asked him
"Did you get it out of your system?"
Chords: Eb5 E7 / C Am B7

Into other peoples' business

To asset success
Who knows

We'll test
Will test

Howling At The Moon
LYRICS
Friday the 13th
Looking for strength
Perfect full moon
For the 'tic of loon
Howling at the moon
They say
You're baying at the moon
Longing for something you can not have
If only that moon would wane in half
Bark into the dark of night
Who causes who more fright?
At the crossroads opposite high noon
Daylight can come none too soon
Follow the pied piper's haunting tune
Blown away by love's typhoon
In the alley of emotions strewn
'til pining for you I become immune
Howling at the moon
They say
You're baying at the moon
Longing for something you can not have
If only that moon would wane in half
Chords: Dm Ebm Em / C A Em / C Em
Bark Up The Wrong Tree
LYRICS
I'm starting to see
I'm barking up the wrong tree
Don't know what comes over me
Just trying to say
I just want to play
Got to find a new way
I'm working to be
An improvement of me
Regain my sanity
Just trying to find
My peace/piece of mind
Be a little more kind
I think... maybe
If I play easy
Calm will overtake me
Could be on my way
To hear their say
A more peaceful day
Chords: G# F# / D E F#

You know what they say
Everything will be OK

LYRICS
French Poodle, German Shepherd
Feeling foreign to me
Might as well be a spotted leopard
Or monkey swinging in a tree
I think Im starting to understand
We're all from a foreign land
At the time given birth
On a ride they call Earth
English Sheepdog, Irish Setter
On my own and all alone
Send a sign, write a letter
Homesick without leaving home
I think i"m starting to understand
We're all from a foreign land
At the time given birth
On a ride they call Earth
Boston Terrier, Siberian Husky
It's all Chinese to me
Might as well be some sort-of monkey
Eating bananas, swinging from a tree
I think i"m starting to understand
We're all from a foreign land
At the time given birth
On a ride they call Earth
Chords: Am7 E7 Dm; 157 BPM Bossa Nova
Want to Go for a Ride?

Do you want to go for a ride
Race to your favorite place
Do you want to go for a ride...

Stick your head out the window
On our way to chase a shadow
I'm sure you're bound to see
Some Hers n' special She
I'll play guitar, but you'll be the star
Jump! It isn't that far
Do you want to go for a ride
Race to your favorite place
Do you want to go for a ride...
In the car
Near or far?

Zest and zeal
Comes in a him or her
Glad that I'm keeping canine time
Seven times the time
(7 x's the fine)
I can tell
You listen well
You've got beautiful ears
All concur
Stroke that fur
Gone troubles and fears
Glad that I'm keeping canine time
Seven times the time
In the time of canine

What Are You Eating?
LYRICS
Human says:
What are you eating under there
Are you aware
What you're eating under there?
Dog replies:
Underwear? Why do you stare?
Underwear? Relative to where?
Human says:
What are you eating under there
Do you even care
What are you eating under there
Eat it raw. Eat it rare.
What you're eating under there?
Dog relies:
Underwear? Why do you stare?
Underwear? Relative to where?
Human says:
What are you eating under there
Why wont you even share
What you're eating under there?
Dog relies:
Underwear? Why do you stare?
Underwear? Relative to where?

It all comes out in The End
The truth comes out in The End

Crack It Open
Inspired by a dog that found a hazel nut.
LYRICS
If you knew what you had
You might be glad
Got to crack that nut
Instead of "not" why not "why not"?
Why not crack that nut
See what the hide is trying to hide
Look what resides on the inside
I'm trying to plant a little patience
'cause my impatiens have gone wild
(Overdose on child)
No if. and, nor but
Got to crack that nut
Determination beats damnation
Searching for reason
Searching for rhyme
All the time
No if. and, nor but
Got to crack that nut
Chords: A Am A Bb A / G A Em A
Like You
LYRICS
I'm more like you
You know it's true
More like you
Not a matter of "want to"
Though bizarre
We are
At the core
Omnivore
Eat, the heart beats
(Eat the heartbeat)
As for love, true
Through and through
Not just animal
Both mammal
Hair and teats
Deeds and feats
Chords: D G E / E F E Dsus4 E
Finding Nemo
Inspired by Nemo, the puppy dog, discovering the water's edge.
LYRICS
Watching the water a while
Listen to the waves roll in (Rollin')
A hypnotic style
Will begin
The sign or the sine
Wave by by
To time... I'm....
See-side
At the Ohhh-cean
Bide no time
Ride the tide
The rhythm of the beat
Auto-tapping feet
Syncopation
Sensation
Chords: A C E A / E A
The Tale Of Rabbit
LYRICS
When you hear that metal clinging
Like an alarm bell ringing
The thunder of the paws
Going to eat you raw
You better run rabbit run rabbit run
With your heartbeat pounding
Toward the corner rounding
Within a hair of the hare
Gonna getcha... almost there
You better run rabbit run rabbit run
Before your innards come undone
This could be your last day under the sun
Bunny, better not be dumb
After all, he's just doing it for fun
You better run rabbit run rabbit run
Lose the battle, his war won
Think you missed the starting gun
Will reduce your hide to none
Unless it's life you shun
You better run rabbit run rabbit run
Make your hole the goal
Or all the sooner...
Lucky foot dinner
You better run rabbit run rabbit run
Chords: G G6 E / C G E; 230 BPM Foxtrot
Friendly Advice
LYRICS
Rubbing the fut the wrong way
He'll likely run away
Lost, lonely... becoming stray
On the hand, might just bleed
The hand that feeds
And it'll never fail
Grabbing him by the tail
Setting sail, going to wail
Kicking a dog when he's down
Unlikely that dog will stick around
On the hand, might just bleed
The hand that feeds
Try taking his food away
Probably not the right day
He might have nothing to say
Or maybe he'll run away
On the hand, might just bleed
The hand that feeds
Chords: B F# / C#7 F# B; 209 BPM 4/4 Blues
People Watching
LYRICS
Sitting here watching the people go by
Making me pause to wonder why
Watching them
Watching them watching me
I am
I see
Sitting here watching the cars go by
Driven insane on the way to die
Watching them
Watching them watching me
I am
I see
Putting on mile-age to earn a wage
Forgot their gauge on how they age
Watching them
Watching them watching me
I am
I see
Sitting here watching the traffic
Their own "exhaust" makes 'em sick
To spite their face, cut off their nose
Never stopping to smell a rose
Watching them
Watching them watching me
I am
I see
Chords: A / C G D A / D A
True Love
Inspired by a puppy dog after he was neutered.
LYRICS
Anesthesia. Anesthesia...
I'm coming to
I'm coming to
Anesthesia. Anesthesia...
I'm coming to
To the loving feeling of you
The raising of the knife
The changing of my life
Scars and mental strife
All fade away someday
In reflection
I've no recollection
But they say someday
We'll be better off this way
Anesthesia. Anesthesia...
I'm coming to
I'm coming to
Anesthesia. Anesthesia...
I'm coming to
To the loving feeling of you
From over population
They say it frees ya
But from stimulation
Gave me amnesia
At least I can feel the love of you
Unconditional
Anesthesia. Anesthesia...
I'm coming to
To the loving feeling of you
Chords: A C E A / Dm A7
Wag
LYRICS
Pat on the back
Gotta like that
Zig-zag
Wag
The tail
(It'll never fail)
Matter of fact
Gotta love that
Zig-zag
Wag
The tail
(It'll never fail)
I'm so happy to see you
Hoping you feel the same way, too
Can't help my tail from wagging
Start to wail. I'm singing.
If you wonder why
It will perplex
Can't try not to blink your eye
Must be a reflex
Zig-zag
Wag
The tail
(It'll never fail)

Guard Dog
LYRICS
Never seems too hard
Being on guard
Just comes natural
As my catch-ya-all
Let out your secret talent
Been gold starred
For being on guard
It's my nature
That's for sure
Let out your secret talent
If awry should go anything
I'm your alarm bell... sure to ring
Let out your secret talent
When evil does lurk around
This hound will keep you save-and-sound
Let out your secret talent
Do what it is you're meant
Find out what it's all about
Let it out
Chords: Drop D tuning / D E / C D E
You And Your Shadow
LYRICS
Where did you go?
Oh, I know
I see your shadow
Just 'round the bend
My friend
Just out of sight
Out-of-sight
Knowing that you're right there
Lets me know you know I care
The love we share
We wear aware
If your scent is sensed
Warms the heart to intense
When love makes sense
Lets you know I know you care
We wear aware
Chords: Bm Bbm Am Em / G E / A E B7 A E; 137 BPM Rock Shuffle
