Book & Lyrics for
DOGS
(Sly plops down on the floor next to Neil)
SLY
Sweet dog. Where’d ya get him?
NEIL
Oh, he just appeared. He seemed to take a shining to me.
SLY (picks up Neil’s sad vibe)
You all right?
NEIL (sadly)
It’s unfair dogs don’t get to live as long as humans.
(Song #17 - Dogs)
NEIL
THE WEATHER IS CHAOTIC
MOUNTAINS ARE NOT WHAT THEY APPEAR TO BE
I FEEL A BIT NEUROTIC
I’M PUSHED AND PULLED LIKE TIDES IN THE SEA
EVERYONE IS WAITING
LOOKING TO THE SKY LIKE THERE’S SOMEONE THERE
WITH ANSWERS THEY’RE CREATING
BUT SCIENCE IS THE ANSWER TO PRAYER
AND I WISH HUMANS WERE MORE LIKE DOGS (2X)
YEAH I THINK YOU HEARD ME RIGHT
LOYAL LIKE THE SUNRISE TO THE NIGHT
EXCELLENT COMPANIONS, LIKE DOGS
I KNOW THEY NEVER WALK IN A STRAIGHT LINE
AND THEY’LL WAKE YOU UP AT INAPPROPRIATE TIMES
THEY’RE LAZY LIKE THE SUNSHINE
AND THAT’S FINE
MY MIND IS SO CHAOTIC
I KNOW ALBERT EINSTEIN DIDN’T THINK THIS THROUGH
THERE’S NOTHING AERONAUTIC
TRAVELING IN SOME OLD CANOE
PEOPLE WOULD BE BETTER
IF HUCKLEBERRY HOUND WAS THE GOD THEY SAW
YOUR HEART MIGHT NOT BE BREAKING
WATCHING ICE BEGINNING TO THAW
BUT I WISH HUMANS WERE MORE LIKE DOGS (2X)
YEAH I THINK YOU HEARD ME RIGHT
LOYAL LIKE THE SUNRISE TO THE NIGHT
EXCELLENT COMPANIONS, LIKE DOGS (3X)
NEIL (releasing the dog)
Go on little fella. Find your human.
(But the dog doesn’t leave, Neil picks him up)
NEIL
I wanna go home.
SLY
I know. I know…
