Lyrics for Dog Door

Oh mother I want a dog I want a little dog I saw a little dog His name is happy Well this is me... Don't get close to me now... I could be a shopkeeper We'll call 'em... She 'bout six foot four Now she's a wrecking-ball Back over here together She brought the bad weather with her She got me coming through the dog door She got me coming through the dog door Got me a pitchfork Oh step-ladders You oughta walk away Well you can't, but you oughta Climb the brick up to the stairs She got long black hair But don't sit there He let me keep the... chair She got me coming through the dog door She got me coming through the dog door Pitchfork (pitchfork) Crowbar (crowbar) Clawhammer (clawhammer) Hot tar (hot tar) She got me through her middle name But she can make it rain She's a small town jail And she's starving in the belly of the whale She got me coming through the dog door She got me coming through the dog door Pitchfork (pitchfork) Crowbar (crowbar) Clawhammer (clawhammer) Hot tar (hot tar)
