Tom Paxton - You Can Eat Dog Food lyrics

Artist: Tom Paxton

album: Best Of The Vanguard Years


Quit your bellyaching, bub.
Saying you can't afford your grub,
Saying a dollar ain't a dollar no more,
Well, tell me, buddy, what's new?
You can't afford to buy bread no more,
Well, this ain't a charity store.
You say your kids are hungry too,
Well, it's good news for you.
You can eat dog food!
You really ought to try it!
You can fricassee it!
You can deepfry it!
Flip it on over!
Cook it any way!
Eat along with rover,
Three times a day!
It comes in a bag or a can,
Just the meal for a working man.
If you're down on your luck just now,
It'll get you through the day.
If you eat in the afternoon,
You're gonna feel like baying at the moon,
But you're complaining too soon,
This is all I gotta say:
You can eat dog food!
You really ought to try it!
You can fricassee it!
You can deepfry it!
Flip it on over!
Cook it any way!
Eat along with rover,
Three times a day!
Find yourself a little vacant lot,
Clean the garbage from a little spot,
Build a fire and let the coals get hot,
Ask the neighbors in.
You can open up a can or two,
Make patties like the swell folks do,
Have yourself a little barbecue,
And let the fun begin!
You can eat dog food!
You really ought to try it!
You can fricassee it!
You can deepfry it!
Flip it on over!
Cook it any way!
Eat along with rover,
Three times a day!
