Wake up you lazy dog
A - lying in the shade
You are supposed to guard this porch
Upon which you are laid
I know the days are hot
I know the days are long
But you need to be a-listening
In case someone comes along
This porch is my haven
The walkway to my home
It's here my heart's a longing
No matter where I roam
When the sun is slowly setting
At the end of every day
I sit upon my rocker
And all my troubles melt away
All around my wooden porch
Pretty flowers trail and bloom
Their purfume soothes my sences
'Neath a round and silver moon
In the evenings I hear crickets
In the daytime the drone of bees
Plus the tinkleing of the wind chimes
Each time they catch the breeze
So wake up you lazy dog
Wake up and come and bark for me
Come and greet me on this porch
Its the only place I love to be
