40 Dogs (Like Romeo & Juliet) Lyrics

Cover art for 40 Dogs (Like Romeo & Juliet) lyrics by Bob Schneider

yeah 40 dogs are a 40 ounce beer...

and the lyrics "make a flag ought to burn a few make a flag ought to burn a few"

should be:

"make a fire i've gotta burn a few, make a fire i gotta burn a few."

I just heard a very slow acoustic version of this song. He distinctly sings "to make a fire, gotta burn a few."

So I guess he's saying you need to take chances to turn that spark into a flame...
