It`s Only The Dog — текст песни (Electric Light Orchestra)

They don`t write songs like that anymore!

You turn me off, and then you leave me in here
And then I`m scratching at, your door, begging you for, some more
You make me hide, so your friends can come inside, and tell me to be quiet
I make some noise and I hear this haggled voice yelling "Hey what`s the riot?"
And I hear you say...

It`s only the dog
Or maybe the cat
Or maybe the bird
Uh huh honey it`s only me

He jumps off, his chair, said "I`m a gonna look in there"
My heart hits, the floor, as he came toward the door
He opened up to see, and fortunately for me, I resembled sherpa jacket
He closed the door, admitted he was wrong, about all the racket
Then I heard you say...

It`s only the dog
Or maybe the cat
Or maybe it`s that bird
Uh huh honey it`s only me

Finally, your friends, say they`re gonna be goin`
Couldn`t wait to hear, "Hey, you come out now boy, it`s all clear"
Gave me the sign, I was out in record time, but to my surprise
From under the bed came my friend Ed
From behind the drapes came `cousin and along with the guys`
Now what you gonna say?

It`s only the dog
Or maybe the cat
Or maybe it`s that bird
Uh huh honey it`s only me
