A puppy dog at play

Like that pup

Under that awning

They call the sky

Counting sheep
'Til I sleep

Like a child would

With a great big valise full

While I'm

Killing time

Through life and worry

With Mr. Dickens

To keep me company

I'm gonna be there dozing
With birds composing

A pillowy willowy melody

Then in the clover

I'll dream of Rockefeller

As busy as a bee

Selling oil to you and me

Em
I'll pity that man
What an oil can

He turned out to be
