Hush Now, Buddy

Testo

[Verse 1] Buddy found a paper bag Declared it enemy number one Barked at every passing leaf Like the neighborhood had come undone [Pre-Chorus] I tried a treat, I tried his ball I tried pretending not to hear He gave one howl beside my ear And shook the picture frames clear [Chorus] Hush now, buddy, settle down Put that thunder on the ground Curl your paws and close your eyes No more courtroom speeches to the skies Hush now, buddy, take five You have made your point alive One last woof, then count to four And let the whole house breathe once more [Verse 2] The mailman made it to the gate Buddy filed a loud complaint A squirrel crossed the garden wall Buddy held a press conference for all [Pre-Chorus] Then Grandma scratched him by the chin His battle face began to grin He circled twice beside the chair And dropped his head like he belonged there [Chorus] Hush now, buddy, settle down Put that thunder on the ground Curl your paws and close your eyes No more courtroom speeches to the skies Hush now, buddy, take five You have made your point alive One last woof, then count to four And let the whole house breathe once more [Bridge] The bag is gone, the squirrel has fled The mail is safely in the shed Your kingdom stands, your flag is high Now guard the couch and let sleep by [Final Chorus] Hush now, buddy, settle down Softest paws in all the town Curl your paws and close your eyes Dream of biscuits, compromise Hush now, buddy, take five You have made your point alive One small sigh, then nothing more Good night, good dog, the house is yours [Outro] Good night, good dog The house is yours
