Dog Eat Dog

Sixth track of the 1971 album "You Gotta Walk It Like You Talk It (Or You'll Lose That Beat)"

Stranded in Red Hook
I check in the black book
For anybody's cave
I run into guess-who
A boozer to rescue
But there's nothing left to save
The Indian hat clerk is doing his homework
Eating soda cracker dog style
They check it once over
And drag it to Dover
Where they dump it on the rockpile

'Cause it's dog eat dog eat dog
Ain't to use to fight it
Dog eat dog eat dog
Grab it fast and bite it
Dog eat dog eat dog eat dog eat dog eat dog

Now I've got the power
The man of the hour
Is leaving room for no doubt
The picadors catch you
And what does it get you
But an incandescent blowout
And if when he sees you
The judge he can't please you
He'll catch you on the rebound
So rip off your mask or
The best you can ask for
Is a mattress in the city pound

Where it's dog eat dog eat dog
Ain't to use to fight it
Dog eat dog eat dog
Grab it fast and bite it
Dog eat dog eat dog eat dog eat dog eat dog
Dog eat dog eat dog
Ain't to use to fight it
Dog eat dog eat dog
Grab it fast and bite it
Dog eat dog eat dog eat dog eat dog eat dog eat doggy doggy...
