Notes:
In Dog's Country is a musical about two dogs, a cat, a squirrel, and The Man. This song is a confrontation: The Man is looking for his lost dog, Jake, but instead runs into Mal, a stray dog.
This one also has a proper lead sheet.
Lyrics:
The Man:
Here boy, here boy
Man, where is that dog?
Here boy
Mal (appears from a shadow):
Hey Man, over here boy
The Man is just a boy
Here boy
The Man:
Hey Mal, where’s Jake now?
Mal:
Your dog has run away now
He’s gone boy
Thanks to what you done, boy
Well the little Man is all alone, feeling down, oh no
No little dog, with no neck to ring
After all, where’d he end up?
Here boy!
What’s a little Man to do?
How about another dog to take down
What’s the harm, do you dare?
Here boy!
Hey Man, do you understand?
This dog masters the Man
Here boy
I’ll take you down
You can’t run now
You’re out of town
You’re in Dog’s Country now
