Del Reeves Lyrics
Labrador Retriever Lyrics
I've got a sweety and I go to see her every night
And I'd like nothing better to kiss and hold her tight
We never get to do it, we're always chaperoned
She got a bodyguard that just won't leave us alone
With his tale a wagging and his tongue a hanging out
He growls to warn me if there were any doubts
He's there to protect her and nothing's gonna make him leave her
That lab lovin' lick laughin' large lumpy Labrador Retriever
I'd like to hug and kiss her but I know I'm just out of luck
She says her daddy as had that dog since he was a pup
And he trained him to attack anyone who lays an hand on his child
And just sittin' here thinkin' about it almost drives me wild
With his tale wagging and his tongue hanging out...
Now I'm gonna get my nerve up and do what my heart says is right
I'm gonna throw my arms around her and kiss her with all my might
Already I can see the headlines how my life was erased
Dog kills man but he died with a smile on his face
With his tale wagging and his tongue hanging out...
That lab lovin' lick laughin' large lumpy Labrador Retriever
