[Intro]
Dave: Oh, it's a beautiful day outside, I think I'm gonna start mowing the lawn
Hank: Hey, how you doin' Dave?
Dave: OK, Hank, what's going on?
Hank: I'm looking for my dog Rover, darn dog got out and I can't find him anywhere. You haven't seen him, have ya?
Dave: No, but if I do, I'll let you know
Hank: OK, sure appreciate it. Well, see ya later, Dave
Dave: See you later, Hank
Oh, there's that Rover now. [Rover barks] Rover, get out of here. You can't come on here while I'm mowing the lawn. Get out of here! Rover, get out of here! (bark, bark, bark, bark, yip, yip, yip, yip, yip)
[Verse 1]
I'm looking over my dead dog Rover
Who I hit with a power mower
One leg is missing; the other is gone
The third leg is scattered all over the lawn
No need explaining the one leg remaining
Is spinning on the carport floor
I'm looking over my dead dog Rover
Who I overlooked before
(Bark, bark, bark, bark, bark... yip, yip, yip, yip, yip) [x3]
[Verse 2]
I'm looking over my minced dog Rover
Who I hit with a power mower
My dog's not eating, he no longer barks
He hit the propeller and turned into sparks
No need explaining; there's no dog remaining
He's part of the grass, you see
I'm looking over my dead dog Rover
Who I sent to eternity!
(Yip, yip, yip, yip, yip, yip, yip...)
