You Can Eat Dog Food |
Quit your bellyachin', bub |
Sayin' you can’t afford your grub |
Sayin' a dollar ain’t a dollar no more |
Well tell me buddy, what’s new? |
You can’t afford to buy bread no more |
Well, this ain’t a charity store |
You say your kids are hungry too |
Well, we’ve good news for you |
You can eat dog food |
You really ought to try it |
You can fricassee it |
You can deep fry it |
Flip it on over |
Cook it any way |
Eat along with rover |
Three times a day |
It comes in a bag or a can |
Just the meal for a workin' man |
If you’re down on your luck just now |
It’ll get you through the day |
If you eat in the afternoon |
You’re gonna feel like bayin' at the moon |
But you’re complainin' too soon |
This is all I gotta say |
You can eat dog food |
You really ought to try it |
You can fricassee it |
You can deep fry it |
Flip it on over |
Cook it any way |
Eat along with rover |
Three times a day |
Find yourself a little vacant lot |
Clean the garbage from a little spot |
Build a fire, let the coals get hot |
Ask the neighbors in |
You can open up a can or two |
Make patties like the swell folks do |
Have yourself a little barbecue |
And let the fun begin |
You can eat dog food |
You really ought to try it |
You can fricassee it |
You can deep fry it |
Flip it on over |
Cook it any way |
Eat along with rover |
Three times a day |
