[Verse 1]

Give me a dollar or give me fifty cents

Let me take it back, if that ain't what I meant

Give me a coat or give me a bite

Give me a light bulb and make sure it's bright

Give me the moon or give me everywhere

Give me some powder to spray up in the air

Or give me air

[Pre-Chorus]

Let me take my thoughts away to think about another day

Remembering the times I pray to help me deal with me

[Chorus]

To be the dogman

[Verse 2]

Give me some attention, lend me your ear

Give me what to do and get me out of here

Give me a book, give me something to read

Give me a horse race and give me who's the lead

[Pre-Chorus]

Let me take my thoughts away, to think about another day

Remembering the times I pray, to help me deal with me

[Chorus]

To be the dogman

To be the dogman

To be the dogman

To be the dogman

To be the dogman

Dogman

[Bridge]

All the sleeping never waking, all the leaves in need of raking

All the business undertaking, all my bones and muscles aching

Thoughts and mind are surely flaking, over luncheons hands are shaking

Surety of no mistaking, cars and horns and glasses breaking

[Verse 3]

Give me a color, make it black or white

Give me a newspaper, tell me if it's right

Tell me, won't you?

Give me a nail or give me a bat

Give me a skinny or give me a fat

Give me, skinny

[Pre-Chorus]

Remembering the times I pray, to let me take my thoughts away

To think about another day, to help me deal with me

To help me deal with me, yeah

[Chorus]

To be the dogman

To be the dogman

Dogman

To be the dogman

To be the dogman
