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

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

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