Dogs Of My Neighborhood

Lyrics

I've never had a dog but I'm not living isolatedly Wherever I go walk I spot a different dog awaiting me I know 'em all, the pepper, salt, and red, yellow or platinum Although I'd never halt or ever said hello or started pattin' 'em Dogs of my neighborhood Dogs of my neighborhood I don't know related names although each one's got names to me And each associated to some neighbor, store or family There goes Dancing Pete and here comes Market mutt and Lego-Mug There goes Fancy-Feet and here comes Target-Cut and Mega-Slug Dogs of my neighborhood Dogs of my neighborhood I've never had a dog but that's not quite like never knowing any There's several city parks, like right below my window, where there's plenty I watch 'em from afar when they're out walking, sniffing trouble, barking I watch 'em from my car in morning alternate side double parking Walking to the compost drop, I keep totals of dogs out trotting It's got my almost top priority, the local dogs I'm spotting They've appealed to me this way for a good or poor all my whole life Feels more like a real neighborhood to know the local wildlife Dogs of my neighborhood Dogs of my neighborhood It's not like I could have my own, when I'd go on tour, they'd be alone But it's enough to see 'em roam around the stores around my home Plus I don't have to feed or walk 'em train or take 'em to the vets I only have to gawk and stalk 'em to complete my need for pets I know 'em all, the pepper, salt, and red, yellow or platinum Although I'd never halt or ever said hello or started pattin' 'em I watch 'em from afar when they're out walking, sniffing trouble, barking I watch 'em from my car in morning alternate side double parking Dogs of my neighborhood Dogs of my neighborhood
