Jackie

I named my new dog Jackie
To honor the great 42
Wasn't too long till she surprised me
With this amazing thing she could do
This dog could speak like a movie star
Least that's how it occurred to my ears
So I took her down to the local bar
To try and score some free beers

Jackie and I walked right on in
And straight away hailed the keep
I said hey Joe what do you know
I found me a dog what can speak
I says to Joe now what will you pay
Will you spot me a beer or three
Joe says hey if she does what you say
You can drink every night for free
Joe says hey if she does what you say
You can drink every night for free

Jackie now don't be a timid mouse
Let's offer up some kind of proof
What do you find on the top of a house
Jackie said quickly "roof"
The bartender says no deal
Ask her something more tough
So I asked her how does sandpaper feel
She without hesitation says "ruff"
Joe says I ain't going to pay her
Cause you ain't speaking the truth
Then I asked her who's the greatest ball player
She thought for a bit and says "Ruth"

The bartender said with a hardy shout
Take your dog and get out
The bartender said with a hardy shout
Take your flea bitten no account lazy stinking lyin dog and get out!

Jackie and I walked on down the street
I was really feeling quite sad
Thinking of all the girls I could meet
And all the beers I coulda had
Jackie she stops and she looks at me
And cocks her cute little head
She says "Next time you ask that question of me
Should I say Mickey Mantle instead?"
She says "Next time you ask that question of me
Should I say Mickey Mantle instead?"
