Bandit, Boy Lyrics

Bandit, boy, you were one of a kind

Too damn slow to keep the kids in line

Moseying was made by you

Supposing we would wait for you

Bandit, boy, King of the Lawn

Surveiller of the goings-on

A pillow for a two year old

Never let your boy go cold, no

Huddled 'round the meatloaf tin

A touch of slobber on your chin

No one had the kitchen beat like you

Bandit, boy, I'm missing you

Bandit, boy, if you could talk

Trace in pen all the things you thought

No grudged words would make the cut

Just love and fun and sniffing butts, yea

Clever tricks and wrought iron rails

Bouncing back, flick of the tail

Patient in your charge as old you grew

Bandit, boy, I miss the things you'd do

What's for dinner?

How're your shins?

How was soccer?

Did yas win?

I feel tired

Can we eat?

Lay around

Lick your feet

Can we conspire

Just for today?

Ya see, that milkbone jug is higher than I can reach

What do ya say?

Just me and you

We can eat and then we'll sleep

Don't that sound good to you?

Bandit, boy, if I had known

Growing old would mean feeling so alone

I'd have never left your panting side

You could lick away the tears I'd cry

I'd throw a blanket on the floor

Invite you through my bedroom door

Prepare the fort so you and I could hide

From all the pain life has in store

Everything is such a chore

Without a willing best friend by your side

You did the job so beautifully

When everything was new to me

No one stood a chance to best your try

Bandit, boy

I'm missing you tonight
