| Eli, Eli, Eli. Eli, Eli, Eli. A simple dog, with ears and nose, Eli, Eli, Eli. I don't why nobody likes him, there's some people trying to put him away. When he comes up to them, they always say 'go away, go away, please take him home'. Make him stay. Eli, Eli, Eli. Eli, Eli, Eli. Several times I've tried to tell him 'Please don't make them say that', but he won't listen to me. Sometimes I pray that there could be more between us, but some people never are satisfied. Eli, Eli, Eli. Eli, Eli, Eli |
