Strum
D-DU-UDU
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?
 How can  they help but drag  the species down
