Children & Dogs Lyrics - Graham Parker

Pre>intro: (a) b a e e a a (to get to the first b) 

B a b a 

She said she just wanted a friend and then she'd be good 

B a b a 

Something to play with now again and give lots of food 

C#m a b c#m 

We've got a yard that's big enough she says he's like a dream 

A e b a b 

But they've got us running round in circles like a pair of clowns it seems

Chorus 

E a e a 

Children and dogs will always win everyone knows that 

E a e a 

I won't work with either one again it's not in our contract 

E a (another a first time, 2nd time rpt last line)) 

Children and dogs 

Now I'm outside freezing to death just walking the dog 

Instead of throwing myself at my wife I'm throwing a log 

We haven't slept for two nights he howls out at the moon 

The kid says sometimes he bites can you bring a bunny rabbit home soon 

Chorus 

A b 

Make you trip over your ankles do all kinds of things that rankle 

A b e 

Make you wanna go and drink a tankful and remember when you were single 

Instrumental chorus including "children and dogs" 

Photos 

C#m a b c#m 

The bedroom's got two carpets and one sticks to your clothes 

A e a b 

Let's take a photo of all of us fixed grins in a family pose 

Chorus key change up 2 semitones (f# b ) /pre>
