so contented..but I can teach a dog to do that!

I was late on that one.)
I just got back from Africa, ya know, I was playing cards 
with the natives..oh, Zulus?..No, I usually won, ha-ha.
I wish I had a glass of water..Why, are you thirsty?
No, I want to see if my neck leaks.
I'd buy a raccoon but John already has one..$35 bucks.
Where do I come in? Here?

I'm gonna buy me a dog..my girl, my girl don't love me, no how.
(How-How-How now, brown cow?
(I think I'm gonna buy me a dog, yes sir..I'm gonna buy me 
a dog. If I was looking for a word to describe what I'm gonna buy
I think dog would be the word. Would it be dog? It would be dog.
Definitely dog.
It would come springing from my lips, dog..Boing, boing boing.
It would be springing! Is that it, Tommy?Can you turn it off please?
Can somebody open the door and let us out?
They're coming to take us away! Ha-ha, he-he, ho-ho.) (Fade.)
