Dirty Them Dogs Lyrics

They say when you sleep with dogs

You're gonna get fleas

But I wish they'd tell you

Just how dirty them dogs could be

Teddy was a gambler

He was an old track rat

Making bets for all us kids

Sometimes disappeared without paying us back

Ain't no one seen him

In twenty five years

Sometimes like Teddy

I wish I could disappear

They say when you sleep with dogs

You're gonna get fleas

But I wish they'd tell you

Just how dirty them dogs could be

How about old birdman

Working from Barb's Pub

Shooting pool and hustling fools

Had his own pager just like doctors and such

I think he retired

Somewhere in Mexico

One hell of a long way

From 35th Street, in Cicero

They say when you sleep with dogs

You're gonna get fleas

But I wish they'd tell you

Just how dirty them dogs could be

Dirty them dogs
