Everything Reminds Me Of My Dog
[Verse 1]
Everything reminds me of my dog
The guy in the store reminds me of my dog
Telephones remind me of my dog, yoohoo
Taxicabs remind me of my dog

[Chorus]
If you remind me of my dog
We'll probably git along little doggie
Git along git along little doggie git a–

[Verse 2]
Smiling at strangers reminds me of my dog
(Better let them know you're friendly)
The way people dress reminds me too
Pissing on their favorite tree
Sad things remind me of my dog
Cockroaches and other insects
Reminds me too, don't eat them
The blank expression of the little boy with thick glasses
Who picks himself up from the sidewalk
And stands there blinking in the sun
Ho oh!

[Chorus]
If you remind me of my dog
We'll probably git along little doggie
Git along git along little doggie git a–
[Bridge]
Like the man on the subway
Sitting across from me
And every time I looked at him he smiled
And by the time
I, I got to the end of the subway line
I'd given him at least, oh, twenty-five cookies

[Verse 3]
Guys in bars remind me of my dog
The way it takes you so long to choose the perfect table
Reminds me of my dog

[Chorus]
If you remind me of my dog
We'll probably git along little doggie
Git along git along little doggie git along

[Post-Chorus]
Me and my ferocious dog
We're walking down the street
And everyone we meet says
"Ach yer a goot doggie!"
"Ach yer a goot doggie!"
"Ach yer a goot doggie!"
[Bridge]
Except when we go for a walk
To get the Sunday paper
I stand there and read the headlines
He reads the wind
Sometimes he hits a funny smell and laughs
I hate it when he does that
I feel so dumb
What? What? I say

[Verse 4]
Everything reminds me of my dog
Beautiful things remind me of my dog
Sunsets remind me of my dog
Gina go to your window
Einstein reminds me of my dog
I want to pat his fluffy head
This whole world reminds me of my dog
My dog reminds me of this whole world
Do I remind you of a dog? (Thump thump)
I do? Oh (Thump thump thump thump thump thump thump)

[Verse 5]
Skyscrapers remind me of my dog
Sitting in the tall grass waiting for a rabbit
Guys in red Camaros too
It's getting to be a habit
Artists remind me of my dog
Staking out their originality on the nearest tree
Old folks remind me of my dog
My dog reminds old people of their dogs
Barfy, Ruffo, Beanhead
Gina says I remind her of my dog
The that way I just did that
Golfers teeing off remind me of my dog
The way he sits by me and shifts on his paws
[Outro]
What is it you want?
Look at it
Do you want to go for a walk?
Do you want a cookie?
Do you want me to dial the number for you?
