From "Soft Taco"
Please, sir would you be my master
Would you take pity on a tired old hound
I couldn't ask you to love me
Just some fresh water and a place to lie down...
No I won't have you, my heart is too hard.
Get off of my steps and stay out of my yard!
You're fur is too grey and your paws are too scarred.
No, I can't love an old dog!
Madam, would you be my master
Would you take pity on a tired old stray
I'd be content in the corner
Licking old wounds and staying out of the way...
Hey I won't have you, my answer is no.
Your eyes are too cloudy, your feet are too slow.
If you want to lie down go lie down in the snow!
No, I can't love an old dog!
Old man would you be my master
Would you take pity on a tired old mutt
You could keep me in the basement,
And I wouldn't cry if you kept the door shut...
Yes, I will have you, old friend come inside!
For a quiet companionship few can provide.
I shall watch the world pass with my dog at my side!
Yes, I can love an old dog!
