Too Many Dogs Lyrics

When I was young we had 30 dogs

They were dropped off in packs at the end of the road

By people who didn't want them around.

We fed them and loved them as best we could

30 dogs, 30 dogs, when I was a boy we had 30 dogs

Too many dogs, too many dogs

I think we had too many dogs

They followed me out when I wandered around

A whole pack of barking and furry friends

Warned me of snakes and weirdos in cars

We played in the brush and stayed out until night

30 dogs, 30 dogs, when I was a boy we had 30 dogs

Too many dogs, too many dogs

I think we had too many dogs

One bright day a patrolman drove up

Sad to relate he hit one of the pups

Said he was sorry, that he'd make it up

We said not to worry, we had plenty more woofs

29 dogs, 29 dogs, when I was a boy we had 29 dogs

Too many dogs, too many dogs

One less for now, but still too many dogs

The very next day that policeman came back

A smile on his lips, and a stray on a rope

We thanked him and he drove off, glad in his heart

We let the new dog meet the rest of the pack

30 dogs, 30 dogs, when I was a boy we had 30 dogs

Too many dogs, too many dogs

I think that we had too many dogs
