COME HOME, LITTLE DOGGIE
|
|
By Lucillus
|
|
Dedicated to Dog
|
|
(Sung to the tune of "Autumn to May")
|
|
|
|
Oh, once I knew a little dog,
|
|
As scrawny as could be
|
|
He got so drunk that late one night
|
|
He joined poor Anglesea.
|
|
And every day we hear the yell:
|
|
"Swordbrother, come to me!"
|
|
Now where, oh, where, has doggie gone?
|
|
Where could that deadbeat be?
|
|
|
|
Yell, Hendrick, yell!
|
|
Call your doggie home!
|
|
|
|
Well, once we lost him in the straw
|
|
In KinderFodder camp
|
|
They would not let us leave that night
|
|
Said: "Don't forget that scamp.
|
|
The one you buried in the straw
|
|
And hoped we would not see
|
|
For we have problems of our own
|
|
We don't need Anglesea's."
|
|
|
|
Hide, doggie, hide!
|
|
Drag your carcass home!
|
|
|
|
But worst of all he does corrupt
|
|
So many younger boys
|
|
A thirteen year old got drunk one night
|
|
And Finn said: "What's that noise?
|
|
You stupid Dog! What have you done?
|
|
Go take him home right now!
|
|
For if he stays we will get blamed
|
|
And I will tell them how!"
|
|
|
|
Run, Doggie, run!
|
|
Take that poor boy home!
|
|
|
|
|
|
And late one night he was convinced
|
|
The trees were closing in
|
|
He grabbed poor Ursus by the shirt
|
|
And went along with him.
|
|
He begged: "Please don't leave me alone!
|
|
Stay with me all night!"
|
|
The minute Ursus turned his head
|
|
Dog was gone from sight.
|
|
|
|
Hide, Doggie, Hide!
|
|
I hope the trees get you!
|
|
|
|
You know that Doggie thinks that he
|
|
Is liked by one and all
|
|
He'll say just what you want to hear
|
|
And come at right your call.
|
|
Unless, of course, his kinsman shouts
|
|
Then he's nowhere to be found
|
|
And soon as Hendrick leaves the camp
|
|
You'll soon see him around.
|
|
|
|
Why, Doggie, why?
|
|
Can't you stay at home?
|
|
