"Honeysuckle Dog" lyrics

"Honeysuckle Dog"

Ridin' on a cloud
Everybody talkin' loud
What a noisy stinkin' crowd
They should not be allowed
Don't you call me no names
Go ride your jet planes
Just call me when you fall
And don't take no curtain call
Just another happy day down in L.A
Fightin', back-bitin' and they never hear me say
"I'm just a honeysuckle dog
Hungry 'cause he can't climb trees"
Oh, but the honeysuckle dog
Scared of every butcher he sees
My lady Colleen took me home
She gave me a honeysuckle bone
Man, that woman aims to please"

Oh, but the honeysuckle dog
Rollin' off a log
Lyin' in the shade
Never had it made
Oh, but the easy-time hound
Nowhere to be found
Lyin' on his ease
A victim of a tease
Till lady Colleen took me home
Gave me a honeysuckle bone
Man, that woman aims to please
