Long Dog Days

[Verse 1]
Woke up this morning
To the pavement all around
Streetcars and buses made the usual sound
On their way downtown

[Chorus]
On those long dog days

[Verse 2]
Streetlamps were shining
The sky was getting bright
Baby kept a-crying just across the street
From the prickly heat

[Chorus]
And those long dog days

[Verse 3]
Big city in Summer
Keeper of faraway dreams and schemes long overdue
What's another day in the workaday world
When you have someone who'll say I love you

[Verse 4]
Well, I guess it's time to go
Time to be on the job, time to mix your mind
With the heat and the traffic
Thе industrial smog

[Chorus]
And those long dog days

[Verse 5]
Big city in Summer
Keeper of faraway drеams and schemes long overdue
What's another day in the workaday world
When you have someone who'll say I love you

[Verse 6]
Well, I guess it's time to go
Gonna hurry to
Do the daily grind
Today it's true that I love you

[Outro]
On those long dog
Long dog days
