|
Somebody's lunch was scattered round the playground |
|
A mangy hound Was draggin' it around |
|
We laughed, we laughed |
|
Cause some poor sucker |
|
Had lost the lunch |
|
He was given by his mother |
|
My soul will burn eternally |
|
For in that lunch was stuff |
|
Mum made for me, for me |
|
The custodian was called to the scene |
|
She looked at me and read me |
|
Like a magazine |
|
She laughed, she laughed |
|
Until she discovered |
|
The nice lunch I was given by my mother |
|
Was torn and shredded hopelessly |
|
And the dog had ate my lunch Mum made for me, for me |
|
[Chorus:] |
|
I was the kid |
|
With the spotty brown banana |
|
I had a lunch |
|
With a liverwurst sandwich |
|
But now they're gone |
|
Scattered all around the playground |
|
By a dirty old mangy hound |
|
Much later, safe in my room |
|
I heard an animal |
|
Howling at the moon |
|
I laughed, I laughed |
|
Until I discovered |
|
The dog that ate my lunch Was howling for my supper |
|
My soul was filled with sympathy |
|
From that night on that dog has lived with me |
|
And I got something better |
|
My best friend now |
|
Is that mangy hound |
