[Lyric] Portrait of a Mechanical Dog (Roger C. Miller)

[Verse 1]
In the daily catalogue
There's a mechanical dog
Where's the cat who saves the day?
Where's the bridge across the bog?
Daily life takes questionable form
Still that's no cause for alarm
Why do his bones all rattle in the wind?
He runs for his doghouse made of tin

[Verse 2]
On the daily catalogue
Sits the mechanical dog
Lifelike life takes questionable form
Still that's no cause for alarm
Rumors fly across the tick-tock yard
From the cellar runs the all-meat guard
Thе all-meat God (Oh)

[Bridge]
In another
In another
In anothеr
[Verse 3]
Coming from a different fog
Runs the machinery-run dog
Never looked down at his feet
Never saw the trap door fall down
It was not a wishing well

[Outro]
All he wants is
All he wants is
All he wants is happy days
All he wants is
All he wants is
All he wants is happy days
All he wants is
All he wants is
All he wants is happy days
(He wants is)
(He wants is)
