Verse

quit your bellyaching bub

 saying you can't afford your grub

 saying a dollar ain't a dollar no more

 tell me buddy what's new

can't afford to buy bread no more

 well this ain't a charity store

 you say your kid's are hungry too

 well it's good news for you

Chorus!

 you can eat dog food!

 you really ought to try it!

 you can fricassee it!

 you can deep fry it!

 flip it on over!

 eat it any way!

 eat along with rover,

 3 times a day!

it comes in a bag or a can

just the meal for a working man

if you're down on your luck just now

it'll get you through the day

if you eat in the afternoon

you're gonna feel like baying at the moon

but you're complaining too soon

this is all I gotta say!

Chorus

you can eat dog food!

you really ought to try it!

you can fricassee it!

you can deep fry it!

flip it on over! cook it any way!

eat along with rover, 3 times a day!

find yourself a little vacant lot

clean the garbage from a little spot

light a fire let the coals get hot

ask the neighbors in!

you can open up a can or two

make patties like the swell folks do

have yourself a little barbecue

and let the fun begin!

chorus and out.
