Where the dogs of society howl

Back to the howling old owl in the woods

Hunting the horny back toad

I bet that'll shoot down your plane

      Eb	 Bb        C         C\E
It'll take you a couple of vodka and tonics

   F
To set you on your feet again

There's plenty like me to be found

Eb       Bb     C            C\E
Mongrels    who ain't got a penny

F  		     C        C\E    F   Db  Db  Eb  Eb 
Sniffing for tidbits like you     on the ground

Ab  Cm\G  Fm  Ab\Eb  Fdim\B  C  C\E  
Ah!_________         Ah!______
