You open up the door when I get home
You can be a real darling
Now I'm making the cappuccino foam
And I can still hear you brawling
You talk about the things that I did
But they're not as much as you did
Coz you're slamming the dog around
You've got the week's evenings analyzed
Using up all my patience
We could try to be cool and civilized
Like we are past Renaissance
And you could tell me things worth knowing
I could ask you how it's going
But you're slamming the dog around
Remember the time
When we saw Buddy chase the sunlight
How he would try
Howling along with "A Hard Day's Night"
He never really got the song right
You talk about the things that I did
But they're not as much as you did
Coz you're slamming the dog around
I could be less of a menace
Why don't you take up some tennis
Instead of slamming the dog around
