This is a jazzy song about my complicated relationship with a naughty dog called Dennis.
lyrics
My friend adores, his pet Labrador
but this dog and I, don't see eye to eye.
His name's Dennis, he's a menace.
He attacked me once, on the way to play tennis.
He went for my balls; they're precious to me.
New balls please.
A walk in the park, things soon went dark.
So we took off his lead; he did another misdeed.
In lightning speed, a lady's lunch he did feed.
With her wrap on the floor, my friend's said he's done this before.
He once stole a fisherman's fish.
He stole his dish.
That's a naughty Dennis.
When Dennis was little, we used to be mates.
Then he tried to eat the glasses off my face.
He wouldn't stop; I cried for help.
Everybody laughed at my pathetic yelps.
I may be a geek
but he's a BEAST!
Please let me live in peace.
Oh yeah, let me do some funky bass lines.
I should be in the Chilli Peppers.
A BBQ with Dennis, he'll be eyeing up my steak.
and then the drool, comes down his face.
I offered him a Pringle, but it was too late
He was under the table and grabbed my plate.
He once almost ate,
an entire chocolate cake,
This dog's a nutcase.
And now Dennis, sees a dog therapist
To rid his demons, he'll need a dog exorcist.
I hope he finds some inner zen.
So I'll no longer scream:
NO STOP IT, DEN!
I hope he becomes a good boy, just like Lassie.
Or I'll have to flee the COUINTRY!
