Please, you'll be the last to see me rot
[Chorus]
Sick as a dog, what's your story
Sick as a dog, cat got your tongue
Sick as a dog, you'll be sorry
Sick as a dog, because you really ain't that young
[Verse 3]

[Chorus]

Sick as a dog, cat got your tongue
Sick as a dog, you'll be sorry
Sick as a dog, cause you really ain't so young
[Outro]
Take it light
Take it light
Take it light
Say goodnight
Take it light
