Verse I:

Up and down the puppies' hair 
fleas and ticks jump everywhere
'cause of original sin
down the hill fell jack and jill
and you came tumbling after
'cause of original sin

Pre-Chorus:

F       G            
rip away the tears
 A                 G
drink a hope to happy years
  F          Esus4
and you may find
   F            G
a lifetime's passed you by

Chorus:

What would you say,
don't drop the big one,
If you a monkey on a string,
don't cut my lifeline,
If you a doggie on a chain,
don't bite the mailman,
what would you say.

Verse II:

I was there when the bear,
ate his head, thought it was a candy,
everyone goes in the end.
Knock, knock on the door,
who's it for, there's nobody in here,
look in the mirror my friend.

Pre-Chorus:

I don't understand at best,
and cannot speak for all the rest,
the morning rise
a lifetime's passed me by.

Chorus:

What would you say,
If you a doggie on a chain,
If you a monkey on a string,
what would you say.
Don't drop the big one
If you a monkey on a string
don't cut my lifeline
If you a doggie on a chain
don't bite the mailman
what would you say

The Harmonica solo is pretty the same.

Pre-Chorus:

I was there when the bear
ate his head, thought it was a candy
everyone goes in the end
knock knock on the door
who's it for, there's nobody in here
look in the mirror my friend

Pre-Chorus:

I don't understand at best
and cannot speak for all the rest
the morning rise a lifetime's passed me by

Chorus:

What would you say,
If you a doggie on a chain,
If you a monkey on a string,
what would you say.
Don't drop the big one
If you a monkey on a string
don't cut my lifeline
If you a doggie on a chain
don't bite the mailman
what would you say

Every dog has its day every day has its way
of being forgotten
mom it's my birthday
