Doggie Gift

from A Disposable Life by Peter Galperin

lyrics

(verse 1)
He sniffs at every planter, and pees on every pot
so happy that his owner is taking him for a walk.
He’s cute and warm and fuzzy, a bundle of love and joy.
He just wants to please her, hear her say good boy…

She’s cold in just a sweater, she should have grabbed her coat.
She hates this nasty weather, hates tugging at his throat.
She had such good intentions, she loved him as a pup.
Paid for all his lessons in the hopes that he’d grow up…

(chorus)
Watch your step on the sidewalk, no one’s watching out for you.
Make no mistakes on the pavement, it’s no ordinary goo.
Don’t look up for a second, or risk another ruined shoe.
A souvenir from the doggies, a doggie gift for you.

(verse 2)
Wasting precious minutes, finding the perfect spot.
Getting down to business, but there’s one thing she forgot.
She doesn’t have the baggy, and she’s running out of time,
She hopes that no one sees her, leave this mess behind…

(verse 3)
He watches her from the newstand, almost every day.
But today he’s going to greet her, he knows just what to say.
He looks in both directions, before racing across the street,
He’s just about to meet her, when something slips beneath his feet…
