So I have completely lost track of where I am on the Alice Day posts. But it kind of feels like time to put up another song, and I have this one handy, so why not? This is not my new-new song but it's still pretty new, and I thought it might amuse you.

I went to Alice's the weekend before OVFF to help paint a house. And while I was in the non-painting portion of the weekend I was sitting on the couch and Beth's dog Lady came and laid down by my feet. And she looked up at me and I looked down at her and it occurred to me to wonder what dogs are thinking when they look at you that way.


Good Dog

   C                        F       C
I found the chicken in the garbage pail
   C                         G           
I chewed your slippers and I buried the mail,
   C                         F           G
I chased the kitty; she got lost in the fog.
      C                     G    C
I've been very busy; I'm a good dog.

       F    C   F           C
I'm a good dog, I'm a good dog
       F    C          Dm        C
I'm a good dog, I'm a very good dog
       F    C   F           C
I'm a good dog, I'm a good dog
       F    C          G7        C
I'm a good dog, I'm a very good dog.

I left your sneakers in a pile of junk.
I peed on the carpet and I rolled in a skunk;
I brought you a bunny that I caught in the bog.
I've been very busy; I'm a good dog

I've been running since the pale sun-rise
But it all seems worth it when I look in your eyes.
It was all for you--all the long day's slog.
I've been very busy; I'm a good dog.*

*To be fair, Lady doesn't do any of these things. As far as I know, anyway. I was thinking in more general terms.
