Hey Driver,
Take me down to the pound
Lord, I say
Got to pick me out a pooch
Who is long in the tooth
Take her to the old folks’ home, Buddy
Take her where the old folks stay
Hey Driver,
Take me down to the pound
Lord, I say
Got to pick me out a pooch
Who is long in the tooth
Take her to the old folks’ home, Buddy
Take her where the old folks stay
Manny’s second wife had a Basset mix
It had floppy old jowls so they named him Nixon
Old Diesel was a hound in Dottie’s Body Shop
He’d always bark when a spark plug needed fixin’
And Walter wouldn't put a leash on
His Bichon named Blue
But he hasn’t been around a good hound since ‘92
Doug had a pug who would chew through tires
So they put him in a cone and he chewed the cone off
Elaine had a Great Dane also named Elaine
So when the landlord called, she would hand the phone off
And now they doing crafts and jigsaws
With dogs on their minds
So Buddy, we should bring one by to Silver Pines
Hey Driver,
Take me down to the pound
Lord, I say
Got to pick me out a pooch
Who is long in the tooth
Take her to the old folks’ home, Buddy
Take her where the old folks stay
Hey Driver,
Take me down to the pound
Lord, I say
Got to pick me out a pooch
Who is long in the tooth
Take her to the old folks’ home, Buddy
Take her where the old folks stay
Hey driver,
Take me down to the pound
Lord, I say
Got to pick me out a pooch
Who is long in the tooth
Take her to the old folks home, Buddy
Take her where the old folks stay
Bruiser used to ride along with Officer Sherm
Til he threw up in the cruiser and they made him resign
Sally used to rally and protest Vietnerm
And she’d dress up Bess in a collar with a peace sign
Bev never had a dog growing up
And every night she cried
Well hell, let’s get that rectified
Molly had a collie who shed like stank
So she kept the fur to stuff the pillows
And Mona had a bone to pick with her bulldog, Hank
Who would leave her fresh-killed armadillos
There’s plenty of folks in the day room
And plenty of dogs in the pound
And plenty of belly rubs to go around
Hey Driver,
Take me down to the pound
Lord, I say
Got to pick me out a pooch
Who is long in the tooth
Take her to the old folks’ home, Buddy
Take her where the old folks stay
Hey Driver,
Take me down to the pound
Lord, I say
Got to pick me out a pooch
Who is long in the tooth
Take her to the old folks’ home, Buddy
Take her where the old folks stay
Ooh, take her to the old folks’ home, Buddy
Take her where the old folks stay
