The Old Show Dog
He was a real nice show dog,
but his glory days had gone.
And he gazed out the kennel gate, with nothing much to do.
They’re loading up the van now, cause they’re going to a show
but his showing days are over and he doesn’t get to go.
He
watches, tail a wagging’, his eyes as bright as they can get.
As his crate goes in he wonders why they haven’t bathed him yet
then your eyes meet through the kennel fence, and you have to look away.
How are you going to tell him, that’s he’s staying home today
Retirement
they call it now he’s in his golden years
He doesn’t look as old though when your eyes are full of tears
And you think of all the Rosettes and the best in shows he won.
The more he showed, the better he got, and then he had a son.
And so now for the first time, you are leaving him behind.
And trying to convince your self, he doesn’t really mind.
He sees the younger dog get in and he’s looking pretty low
but there isn’t time to cheer him up, you really have to go.
Be a good boy, old dog, and this time you have to stay.
He doesn’t bark or climb the fence; he simply looks away,
Just like a nice old show dog, whose glory days are through.
He gazes out the kennel gate, with nothing much to do.
Yes he used to be a show dog, but the glory doesn’t last.
And he’s gazing out the kennel gate, remembering the past.
