up and down the puppies' hair 
fleas and ticks jump everywhere 
'cause of original sin 
 
down the hill fell jack and jill 
and you came tumbling after

rip away the tears 
drink a hope to happy years 
and you may find a lifetime's passed you by 
 
Chorus 
------ 
 
what would you say don't drop the big one 
if you a monkey on a string drop don't cut my lifeline 
if you a doggie on a chain don't bite the mailman 
what would you say 
 
Verse 
----- 
 
i was there when the bear ate his head 
thought it was a candy everyone goes in the end 
knock knock on the door who's it for 
there's nobody in here look in the mirror my friend 
 
Pre-Chorus 
---------- 
 
i don't understand at best and cannot speak for all the rest 
the morning's rise a lifetime's passed me by 
 
Verse 
----- 
 
every dog has its day every day has its way of being forgotten 
mom--it's my birthday what would you say
