SHAGGY

Written by Freebo, Robert Tepper

VERSE 1:
You go crazy everyday,
Every time I run astray,
I’ll bet you really wonder where I go.
Let me tell you honestly,
Please don’t take it personally,
There’s some things about me you don’t know.
 
CHORUS:
I love my freedom, love my fun,
But if you’re callin’ me to come,
Anytime, no matter where I roam,
Say it once, say it twice,
Feels so good, sounds so nice,
You yell “Shaggy”, I’ll come runnin’ home.

 VERSE 2:
Now I don’t leave the neighborhood,
We both agree, it’s understood,
You made that very clear when I was small.
But I got all these things to do,
Just for me, and not for you,
But I’ll always be your puppy when you call.
 
CHORUS

VERSE 3:
When I’m strollin’ down the street,
Lookin’ for a pooch in heat,
In that brand new collar that you bought,
There’s a lady lovin’ me,
Starin’ from the balcony,
I can tell she thinks I’m really hot.
But then your voice comes loud and clear,
Perkin’ up my canine ear,
My feet feel like they’re glued right to the ground.
No time for another tree,
And all those possibilities,
I’ll see her the next time I’m around.
 
Chorus

Repeat Chorus

MY DOG HAS FLEAS 

Written by Freebo, Robert Tepper, Harold Payne
 
CHORUS:
My dog has fleas,
My dog has fleas,
My dog has fleas,
My dog has fleas.
 
VERSE 1:
I heard a moan in the yard,
There he was workin’, way too hard.
I saw him smilin’ with his back against the tree.
He said, “The bark works better than the bite for me”.
He don’t let nothin’ get under his skin.
That’s OK by me if it’s OK by him….
 
CHORUS 1:
My dog has fleas
My dog has fleas
From his tail to his mouth,
Goin’ north, goin’ south,
My dog has fleas.
 
VERSE 2:
Here comes my pettigree,
Trippin’ and fallin’ tryin’ to bite that flea.
Everybody knows, it’s a natural fact,
All God’s children got an itch they gotta scratch.
Horses got flies and pigs got slop,
They’re all happy with what they’ve got…..
 
CHORUS 2:
My dog has fleas,
My dog has fleas,
From his head to his tail
There’s a well-worn trail…
My dog has fleas.
 
SOLO:
 
VERSE 3:
They’re  scratchin’ in the junkyard,
They’re scratchin’ in the street,
They’re scratchin’ on the shagg in the penthouse suite,
Some of them purebreds,
Some of them mutts,
All them bitin’ and scratchin’ their butts.
Every tail-waggin’ tongue-draggin’ breed of canine,
Got a situation just like mine….
 
CHORUS 3:
My dog has fleas,
My dog has fleas,
From his top to his bottom,
My dog’s got ‘em…
My dog has fleas
They’re getting under my skin
My dog has fleas
It don’t seem to bother him
My dog has fleas
Lord knows where he’s been
My dog has fleas
They’re sneakin’ under my door
My dog has fleas
Leapin over my floor
My dog has fleas
They’re worse than ever before
My dog has fleas
He’s just scratchin’ away
My dog has fleas
Each and every day
My dog has fleas
He’s got no time to play
My dog has fleas
He’s got me on my knees
My dog has fleas
Somebody help me please
My dog has fleas
 

MORE LIKE YOU 

Written by Freebo, Robert Tepper

 VERSE 1:
Soft and tender, tough as steel,
Here and now, you know what's real,
No one tells you how to feel.
You lie there so peacefully,
Loving unconditionally.
I wish I were less like me.
 
CHORUS:
What can I do
To be more like you?
When I get in my way,
What would you say
To get me through?
Days like these,
I know I need
To be
More Like You.
 
VERSE 2:
As I try to beat the clock,
That voice inside my head won't stop.
You just sit, no need to talk.
As the sun is going down,
You just smile and I just frown.
I'm so lost, and you're so found.
 
CHORUS:
What can I do
To be more like you?
When I get in my way,
What would you say
To get me through?
Days like these,
I know I need
To be
More Like You.
 
BRIDGE:
All the commotion,
All the Human misery,
In a world that's so confused.
But your love and devotion,
Such a perfect mystery,
Guiding me to someday be...
To be more like you
 
VERSE 3:
Life is short, here and gone.
Through the tears, I'll carry on.
Give me hope and keep me strong...
To face my trouble, to know what's true,
To treat each day like it's brand new.
I know that's what you would do.
 
CHORUS (last):
That's what I'll do
To be more like you!
When I get in my way,
That's what I'll say
To get me through!
Days like these,
It's hard to be...
Yes days like these
I know I need
To be
More like you.
