My doggy's dead
My dog, 'e's dead
He got run over by a truck this mornin'
My doggy's dead
And my wife left me
My wife left me
She got a job drivin' trucks now
My wife left me
And I really, really miss my old dog
Yeah I really, really miss my old dog
Can't say I miss my wife that much
But I really, really miss my old dog
'Cause he was the best friend that I ever had
He used to fetch my slippers when I was feelin' bad
He'd sit right down and look at me with eyes all big 'n sad
And now he's gone I don't know what to do...
My wife was an old misery who nagged me all day long
"Put up that shelf! Take out the trash!" were the words of her favourite song
And I knew that her armpits were very prone to pong
And now she's gone my life is pretty sweet
(and smell free!)
Except that...
... hang on a minute?....
She's drivin' trucks?!?
An example of a poor doggy lookin' up atcha with them big sad eyes
(with apologies to whoever's dog this actually is!)
This song is based on a little ditty I'd play for my clients at a care home where I used to do music therapy.
Obviously it's a very tongue in cheek tune poking a friendly finger into the ribs of the poor sad ol' "ahm so blue cos every thang's gown wrong" aspect of the country 'n western genre.
Music therapy is one of the best things I've ever done. It really showed me the power of music to break through all kinds of barriers and reach places that sadly for some unfortunate people had otherwise become beyond reach in many ways...
We would have group and one to one sessions and this silly little song became a firm favourite, particularly at the group sessions
It originally only consisted of the chorus, to which I would often add random 'variations on the theme' words each time I played it.
It always makes me smile and brings back happy memories of that fulfilling period of my life, so I thought I'd actually pin down a definitive structure and lyrics and record this little live demo.
(NB. This is a complete work of fiction and does not in any way relate to any actual dogs or wives, living or dead! etc)
