I'm a dog, and i can smell your smell right through your clothes |
|
And i espouse some views that you yourself just might not hold |
|
Sometimes i am given pause to think when |
|
I consider what we could call the good life |
|
When it comes to the city versus the country life |
|
Well, i must say that i far prefer a farmer's wife |
|
Breakfast with the master in the morning |
|
Feel the breeze and brush against a cow's leg - mmm! |
|
But it seems the thinkers you call greatest are |
|
The sort who often fall ill young, or pine away |
|
How can they help but drag the species down? |
|
There's some debate about whether instincts should be held in check |
|
Well, i suppose that i'm a liberal in this respect |
|
I can't say i liked robinson crusoe |
|
But at least he didn't tie his dogs up at night |
|
And it seems the thinkers you call greatest are |
|
The sort who often fall ill young, or pine away |
|
How can they help but drag the species down? |
|
How come all your poets fall into despondencies? |
|
And then write it down for us to read every indignity? |
|
Not such worthy specimens, these creatures |
|
Hardly fit for what you could call the good life |
|
And it seems the thinkers you call greatest are |
|
The sort who often fall ill young, or pine away |
|
How can they help but drag the species down? |
