Nightmares of a Dog

(Bob McKillop)

Words and Music by Bob McKillop
Noodlin' on my guitar in the kitchen; Dog's on the floor, asleep, with her paws in the air, flailing away at something, whimpering like the dickens...

I get a song out of it!


Bob - acoustic guitar, vocals /
Alan Dickson - bass, mandolin /
Jeff Trippe - fiddle /
Jason Ingalls - drums
Verse 1

Squirrels the size of garbage trucks
Dog house full of barking ducks
Fire in my water bowl
Kitty litter casserole
Tied forever to a pole
AOooooooooooo
The nightmares of a dog!


Verse 2

Howling at a million moons
Flea-dipped in a French perfume
Cadillacs that chase me back
Vet’rinarians dressed in black
Hambone kleptomaniacs
AOoooooooooooo
The nightmares of a dog!


Bridge

Boredom weighs a ton, it drags me under
You don’t play with me enough so it’s no wonder
I whimper in my sleep!


Verse 3

Mean kid with a garden hose
Bumble bee stuck up my nose
Tail caught in a bramble tree
Dog sled pulled by only me
Neutered for eternity!
AOooooooooooooo
The nightmares of a dog!
Aoooooooooooooo
The nightmares of a dog!
Aoooooooooooooo
The nightmares of a dog!
