LOU REED - Animal language lyrics

rate me

Miss Riley had a dog

she used to keep it in her backyard

And when the dog began to bark

all the neighbors began to shout

Then came a stormy night

Miss Riley let her dog out

And when the neighbors found him 'round

they put a gun down his mouth and shot him down

and he went

Ooohhh-wow, bow-wow

Ooohhh-wow, bow-wow

Miss Murphy had a cat

on her lap it sat

And once in a great big while

it looked like that Cheshire cat did smile

But often it used to chase

anything that crossed its face

But one day it got so hot

that Cheshire cat had a blood clot

and she said

Ooohhh-meow, me-meow

Ooohhh-meow, me-meow

Meow

And then the dog met the cat

the dog was hot and the cat was wet

Then came some sweaty dude

he put a board between the two

Then they couldn't get at it

got frustrated all about it

So they did the only thing you could do

they took the dude's sweat and shot it up between the two

and they said

Ooohhh-wow, bow-wow

Ooohhh-wow, bow, me, wow
