Ask the Dog

I told my brother I've been sleeping
Like a man without a care
Said I hardly ever notice
That you're not around somewhere
Then he pointed at the blanket
I'd been dragging to the couch
I said that's just for the weather
He said it's July right now

Ask the dog
He'll tell you where I sleep
Tell you who gets all my talking
And whose side I always keep
I'm as fine as I can say I am
I've got the whole act down
Ask the dog
He's the only honest one around

I put on my good old jacket
Said we'd hit the town at eight
Then I sat beside his water
While he licked the dinner plate
Told him she don't even cross my mind
He looked up at your hook
Then he carried me your slipper
With a very patient look

Ask the dog
He'll tell you where I sleep
Tell you who gets all my talking
And whose side I always keep
I'm as fine as I can say I am
I've got the whole act down
Ask the dog
He's the only honest one around

He don't care who did the leaving
He don't need to pick a side
He just knows the porch looks better
When there's somebody outside

Ask the dog
He'll tell you where I sleep
Tell you who gets all my talking
And whose side I always keep
I'm as fine as I can say I am
I've got the whole act down
Ask the dog
He's the only honest one around

Ask the dog
He's getting tired of my replies
