Moondog

Live rehearsal; rehearsal live! Come on boy, let's go... Moondog It’s a moondog thing You follow that trail from town to town With your tail in the air and your nose on the ground Sniffing in the shadows where the alley cats prowl Announcing your arrival with a moondog howl. Beat a snaketime rhythm to a slithery rhyme ‘cause no-one ever died in 4/4 time All you wanna do is sing a moondog tune It's just throwing back your head and a-howling at the moon It’s a moondog thing It's a moondog thing You’re a moondog hound on a dog’s life street Mixing up a mess with a snaketime beat Knocking out a rhythm on a trimba with the Sioux Breaking through the bars with an oo-ya-tsu Counting out time, start from 1 10,000 years since you’ve first begun You don’t trust the rhythm of the pendulum rock ‘cause there’s 28 days in the lunar-tic-tock clock Moon dog thing It's a moondog thing... You can see it in the night, you can see it in the day, It’s up there somewhere and it never goes away, It’s a bad hair day for the lunatic fringe A hair of the dog, that’s what you need… Moon dog thing it's a moondog thing Cooking up a symphony, a slime-time cacophony Cocking up a leg against the overtone tree Got a drum-beat-heart-beat-boom-boom-boom But nothing feels better than a-howling at the moon For a moondog It's a moondog thing it's a moondog thing it's a moon dog thing c'mon boy, let's go... I heard it through the grapevine It’s all a lot of moonshine Moondog, treefrog, Ants on a log In the concrete jungle Where the natives like to rumble All night long To the siren’s song Where you risk it for a biscuit of the moondog kind In the park, in the dark, where you wonder what you’ll find I’ll tell you what I found and it blew my mind It was a close encounter of the canine kind Old dog, new tricks Chasing after drumsticks Saint or sinner, well, your hair gets thinner You’ve gone to the dogs But you’re onto a winner All dressed up like a moondog’s dinner It’s the thought for pause When you’re on all fours waiting for a lead just standing by the door But you never wanna get the final walk to the vet There’s plenty of life in the old moondog yet Moondog thing It's a moondog thing it's a moondog thing It's a moondog thing - yeah
