I'm Looking Over My Dead Dog Rover
(Parody of "I'm Looking Over A Four Leaf
Clover")
New Words:
Traditional Children's
Yes, it is another one of
those morbid kids' tunes that they love to sing ad infinitum. Enjoy!
I'm looking over my dead dog
Rover, he's out on the kitchen floor.
One leg is broken, the other
is maimed,
The third I ran over with my
CoCo Puff train.
No use explaining, the parts
remaining, they're mangled beyond repair.
I'm looking over my dead Dog
Rover that I overlooked before.
OR:
I'm looking over my dead dog
Rover, who I hit with a power mower.
One leg is missing the other
is gone.
The third one is scattered all
over the lawn.
No need explaining the one
remaining, it's spinning on the carport floor.
I'm looking over my dead dog
Rover, who I overlooked before.
OR:
I'm looking over my minced dog
Rover, who I hit with a power mower:
My dog's not eating, he no
longer barks,
He hit the propeller and
turned into sparks.
No need explaining, there's no
dog remaining.
He's part of the grass, you
see,
I'm looking over my dead dog
Rover, who I sent to eternity.
