Verse
quit your bellyaching bub
saying you can't afford your grub
saying a dollar ain't a dollar no more
tell me buddy what's new
can't afford to buy bread no more
well this ain't a charity store
you say your kid's are hungry too
well it's good news for you
Chorus!
you can eat dog food!
you really ought to try it!
you can fricassee it!
you can deep fry it!
flip it on over!
eat it any way!
eat along with rover,
3 times a day!
it comes in a bag or a can
just the meal for a working man
if you're down on your luck just now
it'll get you through the day
if you eat in the afternoon
you're gonna feel like baying at the moon
but you're complaining too soon
this is all I gotta say!
Chorus
you can eat dog food!
you really ought to try it!
you can fricassee it!
you can deep fry it!
flip it on over! cook it any way!
eat along with rover, 3 times a day!
find yourself a little vacant lot
clean the garbage from a little spot
light a fire let the coals get hot
ask the neighbors in!
you can open up a can or two
make patties like the swell folks do
have yourself a little barbecue
and let the fun begin!
chorus and out.
