Just Who Do You Think You Are

Little lost weenie --- Shivering in the fog Skimpy coat, bulging bones Strayed too far from her home I don't keep --ggie food (Ain't no spoiled picky prude!) (I'll settle for a smidge) Well, let's look in the fridge... Scarf down six sweet pickles? (The starvin' ain't fickle!) Box of Raisin Bran gone You won't be here at dawn... Good LORD you gettin' fat As a lazy house-cat! Gotta' find your real owner So you're just a loaner... Many months pass...Alas! You're a pain in the ass! Damn! I grumble and grouch You have chewed up my couch! Don't you jump on my lap! Swear to GOD I will slap Just a snooze now, ya' hear? While I sip a cold beer...
