Lyrics

intro: (a) b a e e a a (to get to the first b)



B a b a

She said she just wanted a friend and then she'd be good

B a b a

Something to play with now again and give lots of food

C#m a b c#m

We've got a yard that's big enough she says he's like a dream

A e b a b

But they've got us running round in circles like a pair of clowns it seems



Chorus

E a e a

Children and dogs will always win everyone knows that

E a e a

I won't work with either one again it's not in our contract

E a (another a first time, 2nd time rpt last line))

Children and dogs



Now I'm outside freezing to death just walking the dog

Instead of throwing myself at my wife I'm throwing a log

We haven't slept for two nights he howls out at the moon

The kid says sometimes he bites can you bring a bunny rabbit home soon



Chorus

A b

Make you trip over your ankles do all kinds of things that rankle

A b e

Make you wanna go and drink a tankful and remember when you were single



Instrumental chorus including "children and dogs"



C#m a b c#m

The bedroom's got two carpets and one sticks to your clothes

A e a b

Let's take a photo of all of us fixed grins in a family pose



Chorus key change up 2 semitones (f# b )
