[Verse 1]
I got a poor man's Labrador
a shelter puppy, she gives me her paw
with her nose, she can open the door
I rub her belly
and she always
wants more
got a poor man's Labrador.
She runs real quick after cars
can go real fast but not very far
she beg for treats that come from a jar
she listens to me
as I play
in a bar
got a poor man's Labrador.
[Chorus]
Got a
black lab on duty
just Midnite Buttons
acting the cutie
I think she might
have A.D.D.
but she always treats me
like a
celebrity
[Verse 2]
She got a tongue that runs 7 inches
if she played bass, she'd be Gene Simmons
she comes from a bath
wearing pink ribbons
then she gets all dirty
digging
ditches
got a poor man's Labrador.
Got me a poor man's Lab
if she could talk she'd call me Dad
she's cute when she's good
and when she's bad
Little shelter puppy
a poor man's lab
[Verse 3]
When she wags her little stubby tail
I don't have time for no travail
I think of success when I fail
she barks at the dude
carrying
the mail
got a poor man's Labrador.
[In loving memory of Midnite Buttons (2004-2010).
