Maria Muldaur - Happy Little Nobody's Waggy Tail Dog

 

I know you?re down and out
You don?t even know how to spend a dime
All you know how to do
Is just whine and dine;
I wish you could understand,
That i?d gladly lend a helping hand,
Oh, if i could, little buddy, don?t you know i really would?

Livin? in a small apartment,
My landlord don?t allow no pets.
Little buddy, if i take you in my house,
You?re surely gonna put me out.
Way in the middle of the night,
You come a-scratchin? around my door
Waking me up from a deep deep sleep,
Just to serve you a bite to eat.

You?re just a happy little nobody?s waggy tail dog,
Happy little nobody?s waggy tail dog,
Don?t have a home, just lookin? for a bone;
Everywhere i go, you?re just tagging along.

Tagging along,
Tagging along.
Tagging along.

Turning on my outside lights,
There you stand, a-wagging your tail
I bust out soul, put something in your bowl,
Just as much as your belly can hold;
And it?s all because of you,
I don?t sleep like i used to do.
The alarm clock says it?s time to get going,
But i just lie there snoring.

You?re just a happy little nobody?s waggy tail dog,
Happy little nobody?s waggy tail dog,
Don?t have a home, just lookin? for a bone;
Everywhere i go, you?re just tagging along.

In the life you lived before,
You must have stayed with the king and queen,
But in this life today, i know,
You?re the hungriest little dog i?ve seen;
Pretty soon, i?m gonna buy a home
Little buddy, i?m gonna take you in.
A place to lay your head,
And a yard where you can play in.

You?re just a happy little nobody?s waggy tail dog,
Happy little nobody?s waggy tail dog,
Ain?t got a home, always lookin? for a bone;
Everywhere i go, you?re just tagging along.

Tagging along...
