Verse
Quit your belly-aching, bub
Saying you can't afford your grub
Saying a dollar ain’t a dollar no more
Tell me, buddy, what's new
You say you can't afford bread no more
Well this ain’t no charity store
Say your kids are hungry, too
I got good news for you

Chorus
You can eat dog food
You really oughta try it
You can fricassee it
You can deep fry it
Flip it on over
Cook it any way
Eat along with Rover
Three times a day

Verse
Well it comes in a bag or a can
Perfect eating for a working man
If you're down on your luck just now
It'll get you through the day
But if you eat it in the afternoon
You might feel like howling at the moon
Buddy, you're complaining too soon
This is all I got to say

Chorus
You can eat dog food
You really oughta try it
You can fricassee it
You can deep fry it
Flip it on over
Cook it any way
Eat along with Rover
Three times a day

Background Vocals
Uh huh
Yes ma'am
❲?❳ to sear it

Verse
Find yourself a vacant lot
Clean the garbage off a little spot
Build a fire, let the coals get hot
Ask the neighbors in
You can open up a can or two
Make patties like the swell folks do
Have yourself a little barbeque
Let the fun begin

Chorus
You can eat dog food
You really oughta try it
You can fricassee it
You can deep fry it
Flip it on over
Cook it any way
Eat along with Rover
Three times a day

Chorus
You can eat dog food
You really oughta try it
You can fricassee it
You can deep fat fry it
Flip it on over
Cook it any way
Eat along with Rover
Three times a day

Makes its own gravy
