Year of the Dog - Hair of the Dog Lyrics

Now let me tell you a funny story.
One day my dog, he spoke to me.
Now listen close and carefully,
for what he said will set you free.
My dog came up to me.

He said 'hey', said 'yo', said 'you busy'?
I said 'no'.
Said 'get you're groove on and shake it on down below'.

He said 'hey', said 'yo', said 'you busy'?
I said 'no'.
Said 'throw me a bone and I'll pick the lock,
back to the beat brass broke the boom box'.

My dog came up to me, and he said
'Don't do anything I would do'.
'Don't do anything I would do'.
'Don't throw your life away on the juice'
'And don't you dare let your hair down,
so far it comes loose'.

One day my nan, she spoke to me.
And she's been dead since eighty three.
I said 'nan please, my wife just left me'.
Now what she said will set you free.

'You need those anti-oxidants, both C and D vitamins'.
'Ain't got no time for ticking around,
ain't got no rhyme to finish the vowel'.
'You need that lime in your drink,
to make your bones strong - I think'.
Ain't got no time for ticking around,
ain't got no rhyme to finish -
back the boom box'.

My dog came up to me.
My dog came up to me, and he said,
'Don't do anything I would do'.
'Don't do anything I would do'.
'Don't throw your life away on the juice'
'And don't you dare let your hair down,
so far it comes loose'.
