Give me a nail or give me a bat
Let me take my thoughts away
Over luncheons hands are shaking
Give me a newspaper, tell me if it's right, tell me
Give me a coat or give me a bite
Remembering the times I pray
To help me deal with me to be the dogman
To be the dogman
Give me a color, make it black or white
Give me the moon or give me everywhere
To think about another day
To help me deal with me to be the dogman
Let me take my thoughts away
To help me deal with me
All the sleeping never waking
To think about another day
To think about another day
To be the dogman, dogman
Surety of no mistaking
Cars and horns and glass is breaking
Give me some powder to spray up in the air, up in the air
Remembering the times I pray
To be the dogman
Give me a skinny or give me a fat, give me
All my bones and muscles aching
Remembering the times I pray
Give me what to do and get me out of here
Thoughts and mind are surely flaking
Give me some attention, lend me your ear
All the leaves in need of raking
To be the dogman, dogman
Give me a light bulb and make sure it's bright
To let me take my thoughts away
To be the dogman
Give me a horse race and give me who's the lead, who's the lead
All the business undertaking
Give me a book, give me something to read
To help me deal with me to be the dogman
To be the dogman
