Don White – Rascal Lyrics
Artist: Don White
Song: Rascal
Rascal is the dog and he ain’t too bright
Me and Rascal were sitting on the couch last night
When my woman come in and she started to cry
She looked at us with such terror in her eyes
She said, I have raised these children eighteen years
And now they’re growing up and they’re moving out of here
And my big reward for all that I’ve been through
Is this dog as dumb as mud
And you? Yippee yahoo
Rascal looked at me in disbelief
He said, she can’t be talking about you and mе
She has got us to spend the rеst of her whole life with
Would you please tell her how incredibly lucky she is?
And I said, who is going to love you any better than this?
We’ll wake you up every morning with big wet kisses
When we hear the police sirens in your neighborhood
We throw our heads up in the air and we howl for you (Oowwoo)
And that’s cool, you gotta admit that’s pretty cool
You know I don’t believe we had succeeded in convincing her
Of the outrageous good fortune that had just befallen her
In fact instead of looking happy as she could be
She looked a little bit—well, you know—suicidal to me
But hey, kids go to college and kids move away
But dogs and husbands, that’s who stays
To you it seems like a terrible trick of fate
But me, me and Rascal don’t see it that way
We’re thinking, ain’t we cuddly, ain’t we cute?
We’re both real funny, we’re both real true
There’s another thing about us that is very cool
If you scratch us on our belly, our left leg moves
And you got to admit that’s cool (Oowwoo, oowwoo, oowwoo)
Well okay, so maybe we ain’t that smart
We’re a couple of mutts with a lotta heart
But no one could ever love you better or give you more loyalty
Than this dog as dumb as mud
Than this dog as dumb as mud
Than this dog as dumb as mud
And me
How lucky can one girl be?
She’s got a dog like you and a man like me
We’ll be together well into this next century
Put that knife down baby
You know Rascal, I don’t think mama’s too happy. Maybe we should sing for her. She always likes that. Seems like there’s a lot of potential canines here in the audience. Maybe if we told them about he domestic difficulties that we’re having in the home front, they might chime in, sing along, you know?
I got this feeling that we’ll all gonna be howling at the top of our lungs in a couple of minutes. And in a lot of communities, when you hear three hundred and fifty, four hundred people howling in a building, draw a little attention. But this being a folk audience, in a folk community, I don’t think it’s gonna draw any attention at all, really. Think in a few minutes we’re all gonna be howling and a couple of people are gonna be walking by this building and they’re gonna hear us all and they’re gonna look at each other and they’re gonna go, “Oh well, it’s probably just another workshop.”
Ha ha ha ha, that’s right ladies and gentlemen, Inner Peace Through Group Howling, that’s the name of our workshop here this evening. And let’s see if we can shake ’em up over on the other side of town and let ’em wonder what exactly is going on over there this evening, all right?
Oowwoo, oowwoo, oowwoo
