Lyrics of a song Graham Parker - CHILDREN and DOGS

INTRO:   (A)  B  A  E  E  A  A  (to get to the first B)

 

B         A                 B                         A

She said she just wanted a friend  And then she'd be good 

B            A               B                       A

Something to play with now again   And give lots of food

C#m          A                           B                C#m

We've got a yard that's big enough  She says he's like a dream

A                    E                         B     A       B            

But they've got us running round in circles  Like a pair of clowns it seems

  

  CHORUS

E              A              E          A     

Children and dogs will always win  Everyone knows that

E                   A          E                A   

I won't work with either one again  It's not in our contract

E              A    (another A first time, 2nd time rpt last line))

Children and dogs

 

Now I'm outside freezing to death Just walking the dog 

Instead of throwing myself at my wife  I'm throwing a log 

We haven't slept for two nights  He howls out at the moon 

The kid says sometimes he bites  Can you bring a bunny rabbit home soon

  

 CHORUS

A                                    B             

Make you trip over your ankles  Do all kinds of things that rankle 

A                                    B                                     E

Make you wanna go and drink a tankful  And remember when you were single 

 

INSTRUMENTAL CHORUS including "Children and dogs"

 

      C#m      A                   B                  C#m

The bedroom's got two carpets And one sticks to your clothes

A              E                    A               B              

Let's take a photo of all of us  Fixed grins in a family pose
