Dog's Life Lyrics
Shuffling down the street with his sideways feet
Stopping now and then and he'll stop again,
No doubt in his mind where's going
He doesn't care for his hair or his teeth
And if the truth were know he's a bit of a thief,
Innocently lies, and it's showing
Who'd imagine he's man's best friend
Knowing he's your friend in the end
Won't be around when you shout or swear
Not very sorry, he doesn't care;
God knows why we call him old faithful
Pat him on the head, give the dog a bone;
Use a friendly tone, he won't leave you alone
No one understands like old faithful
Early rise. Is it wise?
Wonders happen now and then
Eats his fill, time to kill
hen goes back to sleep again
Trusty slave, bold and brave
And he roars like a lion
But in fact, it's an act
And the truth is that he isn't
No one understands it's a dog's life
Repeat: Shuffling down the street
Stopping now and then and he'll stop again,
No doubt in his mind where's going
And if the truth were know he's a bit of a thief,
Innocently lies, and it's showing
Knowing he's your friend in the end
Not very sorry, he doesn't care;
God knows why we call him old faithful
Use a friendly tone, he won't leave you alone
No one understands like old faithful
Wonders happen now and then
Eats his fill, time to kill
hen goes back to sleep again
Trusty slave, bold and brave
And he roars like a lion
But in fact, it's an act
And the truth is that he isn't
No one understands it's a dog's life

First GG song I ever heard (1 minute ago). Pretty good.
The riff between the verses (and at the start of the song) reminds me of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory movie (the original). I am sure the movie uses a similar tune, perhaps before they go into the tunnel??
Is this about a dog or is there something deeper I am missing?
@sokorny It is about dogs, but the liner notes in the album say that it's dedicated to the band's roadies.
