lyrics

My dog Astro
Thinks I can spend the whole day
Rubbin’ on his belly
But life doesn’t work that way

How I wish
Life was that simple
But I’ve got to go to work
So I can pay for dog food

But poor Astro
He just don’t comprehend
Every time I try to explain
He rolls on his back again

Poor Astro
He just don’t understand
Our priorities and duties
And the foolish ways of man

My dog Astro
He’s got nothing but love
He loves nothing more
Than a belly rub

And he deserves it
He’s a good boy
But I can tell
He’s tired of being a house pet

He wants to get outside
He wants to explore
He wants to sniff around
He feels trapped and he’s bored

He wants to chase some rabbits
He doesn’t want to eat off a plate
Because he’s an animal
And Oh I can relate

Poor Astro
He’s getting fat and old
But he’s still so wild
He doesn’t want to be told
To sit
Or stay
Or fetch n
Or heal
And I know just how he feels
