It was the seventh of december in the middle of the night
The street was deserted except for smoke and moonlight
The front of the papers read the latest scandal
The people versus when the dog chewed the handle
Its a strange kind of story as far as stories go
Its the tale of a man and his trusty fido
With police to the left of him on the right a dead vandal
The only excuse was that the dog chewed the handle
With the stick de la candle
Or the study maybe strangled
The professor with the pistol
Oh no the dog chewed the handle
Hes got his integrity dont need no excuse
You cant say different got to let him loose
The guy shouldntve been there but he chose to gamble
Heads you win tails the dog chews the handle
I suppose if Id thought I shouldnt leave them together
Grip made of bone and a holster thats leather
Freak kind of accident that sets an example
Dogs like bones thats why the dog chewed the handle
With the stick de la candle
Or the study maybe strangled
The professor with the pistol
Oh no the dog chewed the handle
Oh look at it from my angle
Oh just look at it
With the stick de la candle
Or the study maybe strangled
The professor with the pistol
Oh no the dog chewed the handle x2
Oh look at it from my angle
Oh just look at it
