About

Based on one of the band’s first songs. “One of their early recordings was ‘(My Oh My) I Forgot My Wallet,’ in which the song’s narrator shops around town accompanied by a German shepherd dog, which growls on cue to each of the narrator’s orders to ‘charge it.’”

What Up Dog? Lyrics

[Intro]
What up, dog?
What up, dog?
What up, dog?
Monkey in the middle of a metal detector
Hat of the cousin of the tax collector, hmm
Automatic sensors in the President's skull
Do you have yesterday's time?

[Chorus]
What up, dog?
What up, dog?
What up, dog?
What up, dog?
What up, dog?
What up, dog?
What up, dog?
What up, dog?
What up, dog?
What up, dog?
What up, dog?
What up, dog?
What up, dog?

[Verse]
You see, I just got this new pit bull terrier
Thing's better than a credit card
Went to the gas station the other day
Got a couple gallons of gas
Some oil, spark plugs, six-pack
Man says "That'll be $15.41"
I, I say "Well, god, goddamn, I forgot my wallet
But I did bring my credit card"

[Outro]
What up, dog?
