Lyrics Graham Parker

Graham Parker

Children & Dogs

She said she just wanted a friend And then she'd be good

Something to play with now again And give lots of food

We've got a yard that's big enough She says he's like a dream

But they've got us running round in circles Like a pair of clowns it seems

Children and dogs will always win Everyone knows that

I won't work with either one again It's not in our contract

Children and dogs

Now I'm outside freezing to death Just walking the dog

Instead of throwing myself at my wife I'm throwing a log

We haven't slept for two nights He howls out at the moon

The kid says sometimes he bites Can you bring a bunny rabbit home soon

Make you trip over your ankles Do all kinds of things that rankle

Make you wanna go and drink a tankful And remember when you were single

The bedroom's got two carpets And one sticks to your clothes

Let's take a photo of all of us Fixed grins in a family pose
