Verse 1
Well I woke up this morning and put on my clothes to leave
When I hit the door your big dog was staring at me
He made me think about it long enough to change my mind
Now I’m going to be around for a long, long time

Chorus
Well I’m going to be around for a long long time
It’s a shame I learned my lesson from your overly concerned canine

Verse 2
Well when somebody takes you home to love you all through the night
And their warm loving hands make you feel al right
Why would you leave why would you run away
It’s a shame it takes a dog to keep a good man from going astray

Chorus
Well I’m going to be around for a long long time
It’s a shame I learned my lesson from your overly concerned canine

Verse 3
I got a clear understanding with the dog you see     
That from now on he’ll be the boss of me     
Well I better stay straight and I better walk the line
It’s just another day’s lesson from your overly concerned canine

Chorus
Well I’m going to be around for a long long time
It’s a shame I learned my lesson from your overly concerned canine
It’s just another day’s lesson from your overly concerned canine

Ending
And the moral of the story is to never say hello and goodbye
