Monty Harper - I Took My Dragon For a Walk

Copied!edit Lyrics
original text at lyrnow.com/1033492
It was an ordinary day when I went out with my new pet
I was looking for a howdy from the people that we met
But my buddies ran away; you should've seen 'em move their tushes
Mrs. Goggins didn't greet us she just dove into the bushes
Her two poodles tried to bite us. Billy Dugan threw a rock
The day I took my dragon for a walk

I took my dragon for a walk so he could do the dragon things
Like flex his claws and preen his scales and stretch his little wings
I took my dragon for a walk for all the neighborhood to meet
But it's tough to meet your neighbor when he's fleeing down the street

My dragon must have figured we were playing hide and seek
He broke the Jensens' window leaning in to get a peek
Then he tilted up their roof, sniffed and sneezed a fiery sneeze
His tail flipped up a mini van, which landed in the trees
We left piles of burning rubble scattered up and down the block
The day I took my dragon for a walk
I took my dragon for a walk so he could do the dragon things
Like flex his claws and preen his scales and stretch his little wings
I took my dragon for a walk; a little knock around the town
How was I to know that he would mostly knock it down?

As the dust began to settle and more car alarms awoke
I climbed aboard my dragon and we flew off through the smoke
Now he's sulking in his cavern in the dark deserted hills
And I'm trying to convince him he should learn more social skills
You'd think he was a monster, from the way the people talk
About the day I took my dragon for a walk!

I took my dragon for a walk so he could do the dragon things
Like flex his claws and preen his scales and stretch his little wings
I took my dragon for a walk. It did not go over well!
But maybe he'll do better at my school for show and tell!

'Til then I'll watch that clumsy dragon like a hawk
Although my brother says my dragon is a crock
And that I ought to see a certain kind of doc
The clean up crews are working round the clock
And the kids all crowd the yellow tape and gawk
Drawing dragons on the pavement with their chalk
Billy Dugan still appears to be in shock
And Mrs. Goggins cannot find Fifi or Jacque
Since the day I took my dragon for a walk!
