From the recording Good Old Days
Lyrics
[Intro]
One snap of the leash and I’m ready to shine!
[Verse 1]
Polish up my tag, press your Sunday blues,
Put a little swing in those walking shoes.
Corner saxman grins when we pass by,
Says, “Kid’s got class,” and I can’t deny.
[Pre-Chorus]
You take my lead, I’ll take your hand,
We strut this little dogtown band.
[Chorus]
Collar and cufflinks, out on the town,
I’ll make the moonlight tip its hat down.
Give me a sidewalk, give you a spin,
Two fancy hearts with a tail-time grin.
Collar and cufflinks, horns go jazzy,
We make each fire hydrant snazzy.
[Verse 2]
Doorman tips his cap like we’re old newsreels,
I sign the guestbook with my happy heels.
Waiter brings a bowl like it’s fine champagne,
You laugh and say, “To love, and the off-leash lane.”
[Pre-Chorus]
Lead with a swagger, swing with a sway,
We’re headline pups today.
[Chorus]
Collar and cufflinks, out on the town…
I’ll make the moonlight tip its hat down.
Give me a sidewalk, give you a spin,
Two fancy hearts with a tail-time grin.
Collar and cufflinks, horns go jazzy,
We make each fire hydrant snazzy.
[Bridge]
I’ll guard your coat
You guard my dreams
We waltz past all the in-betweens.
If life gets loud (if life gets loud)
Just count me in
I’ll start the bark on two and ten.
[Chorus]
Collar and cufflinks, out on the town…
I’ll make the moonlight tip its hat down.
Give me a sidewalk, give you a spin,
Two fancy hearts with a tail-time grin.
Collar and cufflinks, horns go jazzy,
We make each fire hydrant snazzy.
Bow to the moon, then bow again--
That’s how a good night ends.
