Been thinking hard about my job
It's been a hard day's night
I should be sleeping like a dog
While he's rapping
Rapping like a small dog
Yapping
Yapping like a small dog

Like a pan of mushrooms
Make me want to be
Like a bulldog
Sat on my shoulder
Bulldog
He's looking much older

Two long hours to survive
Got me madder than an angry beehive
Yap yap
Dog on my shoulder
Come out of room looking twice as old yeah

Pig shit dog yeah waddya see
See the same old pygmies shouting at me
And thinking
Oh Christ
Can something be done
To rid me
Of this present son

... my intention
Not to mention
... good job
I'm lacking fear ...

But he's rapping
Rapping like a small dog
Yapping
Yapping like a small dog

Oh, what now
And where to go
I've been found out in my watering hole
Little ball league, a dark, dark ball league, a-fucking-broad

Like a bad time on magic mushrooms
Make me want to be
Like a bulldog
Sat on my shoulder
Yapping
Yapping at me

... my intention
Not to mention

Yapping like a bulldog
Two long hours to survive
Got me madder than an angry beehive
Yap yap
Dog on my shoulder
Looking twice as old yeah

Oh, what now
And where to go
I've been found out in my watering hole
Little ball league, a dark, dark ball league

Pig shit dog yeah what'll it be
Same little pygmies shouting at me
And thinking
Oh Christ
Can something be done
To rid me
Of my current son

Pig shit dog yah waddya see
Same little pygmies shouting at me
And thinking
Oh Christ
can something be done
To rid me
Of this very son

I can't believe I don't know where to look
Maybe bury my head in a book
'Cos there's a bulldog sat on my shoulder
Like a road hog
Looking much older

Oh what now
And where to go
I've been found out in my watering hole
Little ball league, a dark dark ball league
