Graham Parker - Children And Dogs lyrics

pre>intro: (a) b a e e a a (to get to the first b) B a b a She said she just wanted a friend and then she'd be good B a b a Something to play with now again and give lots of food C#m a b c#m We've got a yard that's big enough she says he's like a dream A e b a b But they've got us running round in circles like a pair of clowns it seems Chorus E a e a Children and dogs will always win everyone knows that E a e a I won't work with either one again it's not in our contract E a (another a first time, 2nd time rpt last line)) Children and dogs Now i'm outside freezing to d**h just walking the dog Instead of throwing myself at my wife i'm throwing a log We haven't slept for two nights he howls out at the moon The kid says sometimes he bites can you bring a bunny rabbit home soon Chorus A b Make you trip over your ankles do all kinds of things that rankle A b e Make you wanna go and drink a tankful and remember when you were single Instrumental chorus including "children and dogs" C#m a b c#m The bedroom's got two carpets and one sticks to your clothes A e a b Let's take a photo of all of us fixed grins in a family pose Chorus key change up 2 semitones (f# b ) /pre>
