THE PEKINESE DOG

by

Matt McGinn

 

I get home, sleep like a log

Working for the Pekinese dog

I get home, sleep like a log

Working for the Pekinese dog

 

Woke this morning, had some tea

Caught the bus to the factory

Read the papers, what I see?

Something there that startled me

A woman taken unawares

Died and left a million shares

Thirty thousand, if you please

To her favourite Pekinese

 

I get home, sleep like a log

Working for the Pekinese dog

I get home, sleep like a log

Working for the Pekinese dog

 

The union man, he come to me

He say, ‘It’s very plain to see

You work too hard, that no do

Union card is the thing for you’

I say, ‘No’ but he say, ‘Yes

You got to fight the big bosses’

I say, ‘The bosses are my pals

I’m very fond of the animals’

 

I get home, sleep like a log

Working for the Pekinese dog

I get home, sleep like a log

Working for the Pekinese dog

 

I bow my head, bend my back

Feel my bones go crinkle crack

I never stop, dawn till dusk

Callouses hard as an elephant’s tusk

I move as fast as a bird on wings

They ask me why I do these things

I only work like a dog, you see

Till some shareholder take pity on me

 

I get home, sleep like a log

Working for the Pekinese dog

I get home, sleep like a log

Working for the Pekinese dog

 

In my dreams, I see the day

All the bosses die away

Never one of them forget

To leave his money to his pet

Now the strangest things occur

Her majesty has a real fox fur

Employers Federation, it’s true

Hold their meetings in the London zoo

 

I get home, sleep like a log

Working for the Pekinese dog

I get home, sleep like a log

Working for the Pekinese dog

 

I get home, sleep like a log

Working for the Pekinese dog

I get home, sleep like a log

Working for the Pekinese dog
