Intro
Verse 1
(with Into Riff):
Listening to the story of an angry old man,
He had the whole world in his pocket, but,
He had a hole there in his hand.
(Riff continues):
Never had much trouble fitting into his surroundings,
Dived headlong into life, and ended up by drowning,
Died by drowning.
Verse 2
His blood is pure venom, and his teeth are solid gold.
His clothes are made from human skin, he's a thousand years old.
He lives down by the poisoned stream, where only alligators swim,
Sits there drinking moonshine, playing a mean violin.
A mean violin, a really wicked violin.
Chorus 1
You've got four lines on your forehead,
And that tells me that you're worried,
Ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba.
You've got four lines on your forehead,
And that tells me that you're worried.
Bridge 1
Don't shoot my dog, don't shoot my dog.
I said please don't shoot my dog.
Don't shoot my dog.
Interlude
Verse 3
His wife is laying face down, in the pool upon the porch,
He spied me through his blindness,
As I spied her with my torch.
His skin goes tight around his face, as he smiles his blinding smile.
Points over to a dozen wives,
Laying in a pile, laying in a pile... piled high.
Chorus 2
You've got four lines on your forehead,
And that tells me that you're worried,
Ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba.
You've got four lines on your forehead,
And that tells me that you're worried,
Ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba.
Break
Aah, aah, aah, aah.
Aah, aah, aah, aah.
Oh...
Chorus 3
You've got four lines on your forehead,
And that tells me that you're worried,
Ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba.
You've got four lines on your forehead,
And that tells me that you're worried.
Bridge 2
Don't shoot my dog, don't shoot my dog.
I said please don't shoot my dog.
Don't shoot my dog.
You've got four lines on your forehead,
And that tells me that you're worried 'bout something someone said.
You've got four lines on your forehead,
And that tells me that you're worried 'bout something someone said.
And OK... no peace of mind; don't you be afraid.
And OK... no peace of mind; don't you be afraid.
And OK... no peace of mind; don't you be afraid. Don't shoot my...
Coda
Dog, don't shoot my dog.
I said please don't shoot my dog,
Don't shoot my dog, oh.
Don't shoot, don't shoot, don't shoot,
I said please don't shoot my dog.
Don't shoot, don't shoot, don't shoot,
I said please don't shoot my dog.
Dog, dog, dog, dog, dog, dog, dog, dog.
Dog, dog, dog, dog, dog, dog, dog, dog.
