Rottweiler Blues Lyrics - Zevon Warren

written by Warren Zevon and Carl Hiaasen 

1995 Zevon Music BMI 

Got a Glock in the bedside table 

Machine gun leaning by the bedroom door 

Kevlar vest in the closet 

Well, I wear it when I go to the store 

Shadows on the window 

Rustling in the hedge 

Faces at the peephole 

Footsteps on the ledge 

If you come calling 

He'll be mauling with intent to maim 

Don't knock on my door 

If you don't know my Rottweiler's name 

Halogen lights in the driveway 

Guardian Angels living next door 

One hundred pounds of unfriendly persuasion 

Sleeping on the Florida porch 

Slackers in the market 

Bangers in the mall 

Skinheads on the golf course 

Hunting for their balls 

If you come calling 

He'll be mauling with intent to maim 

Don't knock on my door 

If you don't know my Rottweiler's name 

Well, he's dreaming about an intruder or two 

And the promise of burglar blood 

He's yearning to chew on a gangster tattoo 

And to hear the proverbial sickening thud 

Shadows on the window 

Rustling in the hedge 

Faces at the peephole 

Footsteps on the ledge 

If you come calling 

He'll be mauling with intent to maim 

Don't knock on my door 

If you don't know my Rottweiler's name
