lyrics

There’s a man coming toward me down Hudson Street
He’s got squared off shoulders and turned out feet
His head swinging to side with the beat
Walking a big bulldog
at the end of a leash
I slip in for coffee behind a regular Joe
He orders half-caf, no-fat,
low-foam latte to go
Drums his fingers while he’s waiting checks his watch then his phone
Rushes out with a miniature
dachshund in tow

Is it some strange version of vanity
are they searching for true family
Are they drawn together subconsciously or does change occur more gradually
Why, why, why, why, why
do people look like their dogs

Big guy watches tv
he drinks beer from a bottle
Brings home a new greyhound
a sleek racing model
Does he get into shape
finally rev up the throttle
Or does that tiny greyhound
start to walk with a waddle
My charming neighbor
she looks good for her age
She’s thinking about buying
a little sharpei
How that will turn out no I couldn’t say
But a smoother dog
might just be the best way

Chorus

We’ve made a few trips to the ASPCA
To find a new best friend
who’ll help make our day
A full grown dog of unspecified breeding
‘Cause they’re the most loving
and they’re the most needing

Chorus
