SNOOKY

    
WHEN MY MIND BETRAYS THE PRESENT,
FOR A DAYDREAM TO MY PAST,
AND I THINK OF SILLY CHILDREN PLAYING LEAPFROG.
A ROMPIN' STOMPIN' AVALANCHE',
OF ANIMAL APPEARS.
AND MY EYES GET CLOUDY THINKIN'OF THAT BIG DOG.

SO SNOOKY DOG, WHERE WE GOIN' TO,
IN THE HILLS TODAY.
MY MIND IS ACHIN' FOR A BIG SAFARI.
YOU GO ON DOG I'LL FOLLOW ALONG,
I'M RIGHT HERE IN YOUR WAKE.
IT'LL BE LIKE IN THE OLD DAYS,
WAIT AND SEE.

SHE ALWAYS SEEMED TO BE AROUND,
WHEN TROUBLE WAS AT HAND.
A FEARLESS FIGHTING JOAN OF ARK, A HERO.
AND WHEN I HAD THE BLUES SHE WAS,
A ONE DOG MARCHING BAND.
JUST HOW I GET ALONG NOW I DON'T KNOW.

SO SNOOKY DOG, WHERE WE GOIN' TO,
IN THE HILLS TODAY.
MY MIND IS ACHIN' FOR A BIG SAFARI.
YOU GO ON DOG I'LL FOLLOW ALONG,
I'M RIGHT HERE IN YOUR WAKE.
IT'LL BE LIKE IN THE OLD DAYS,
WAIT AND SEE.

IF I COULD BRING HER BACK SOMEHOW,
THE PRICE WOULD BE NO OBJECT.
THOUGH MONEY CAN'T BUY HAPPINESS I'M TOLD.
TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS, ANYTHING,
I'D GIVE ANY PRICE THEY SAY.
JUST TO KEEP HER WITH ME, 
THROUGH THESE EMPTY DAYS.

SO SNOOKY DOG, WHERE WE GOIN' TO,
IN THE HILLS TODAY.
I'M SORRY GIRL THIS TIME I CAN'T GO WITH YOU.
'CAUSE IT'S YOUR MEMORY,
RUNNIN', BARKIN', BEGGIN' ME TO PLAY.
YOU'RE BURIED NOW,
SO I'LL BE ON MY WAY.
