(spoken) It was my lucky day today
On Avenue A, when a lady in a limousine drove my way
She said, "Darling, be a dear, haven't slept in a year,
I need your help to make my neighbor's yapping dog disappear."
This akita, Evita, just won't shut up.
I believe if you play non-stop that pup
Will breathe it's very last high strung breath
I'm certain that cur will bark itself to death
(sung) Today 4 U
Tomorrow for me (x2)
We agreed on a fee
A thousand dollars guaranteed
Tax free
(spoken) And a bonus if I trim her tree.
(sung) Now who could fortell
That it would go so well
But sure as I am here
That dog is now in doggy hell
(spoken) After an hour, Evita,
In all her glory
On the window ledge of that 23rd story
(sung) Like Thelma and Louise did
When they got the blues
Swan dove into the courtyard
Of the Gracie Mews
