Back Story: I wanted to make a song using my hillbilly instruments to impress a bluegrass friend of mine. I also wanted to do another "art" piece similar to my "Pelican Song" from a few years ago: youtube.com/watch?v=cLq4pwZFc2s

Lyrics:
Best leave sleeping dogs lie
That's what the big dog say
"Its a dog eat dog world"
Gets truer every day
We fight like cats and dogs
And never pet a stray
Best be mindful of this truth:
Every dog has his day

I see you dogs and your ponies
I've seen you iditarod that sleigh
You take the hair of the dog
Just like tonic and Bombay
You can see this dog won't hunt
But throw the stick and he'll play
Best be mindful of this truth:
Every dog has his day

I hear you cry "havoc"
Unleash the dogs into the fray
If you can't run with the dogs
You best kneel down and pray
The dogs won't be calling off
When the flocks in disaaray
Best be mindful of this truth:
Every dog has his day

btw, I got the idea for the animation from this video: youtube.com/watch?v=DRZyRcoCSUo
