Doghouse

(album: Beacon Street Collection - 1995)

Out to the doghouse with you, that's what she said
You've been inside too long now, I must clean the mess
Go into the backyard will you and practice your tricks
Go take yourself for a walk, you make me sick
You're just a doggy
In a snap you're fetching the bone
And you're barking when she calls
You're hiding behind the fence
You've been disobedient

Your fun and playfulness is so very becoming
But she has got you by the reins and there is no running
Conditioned to salivate at the first sound of the bell
And feeding you the remains of, of yesterday's meal

Can you hear her calling from within the house?
Well you're just a doggy
In a snap you're fetching the bone
And you're barking when she calls
You're hiding behind the fence
You've been disobedient
Shape up boy!

Your fun and playfulness is so very becoming
But she has got you by the reins and there is no running
Conditioned to salivate at the first sound of the bell
And feeding you the remains of, of yesterday's meal

Can you hear her calling, from within the house?
If you would stop barking, she might let you out
At last she opened the back gate
You're released, you're now free to roam
You've been waiting for this moment for sometime
And now you must go
Into the fields where there is laughter
There is peace and you're comfortable
Try to hold on now before she calls you home

Oh you're in the doghouse 'cause you're just a dog
(You've been disobedient and so you're going out behind the fence)
You're in the doghouse and you're just a dog
You're in the doghouse oh you're just a dog
You're in the doghouse 'cause you're just a dog
Oh little doggy you're just a dog
You're in the doghouse oh you little dog
You're in the doghouse oh you're just a dog
You're in the doghouse you dirty dog
