Give me a dollar or give me 50 cents   Let me take it back if that ain't what I meant      Give me a coat or give me a bite   Give me a light bulb and make sure it's bright   Give me the moon or give me everywhere   Give me some powder to spray up in the air, up in the air      Let me take my thoughts away   To think about another day   Remembering the times I pray   To help me deal with me to be the dogman      Give me some attention, lend me your ear   Give me what to do and get me out of here   Give me a book, give me something to read   Give me a horse race and give me who's the lead, who's the lead      Let me take my thoughts away   To think about another day   Remembering the times I pray   To help me deal with me to be the dogman      To be the dogman   To be the dogman   To be the dogman   To be the dogman, dogman      All the sleeping never waking   All the leaves in need of raking   All the business undertaking   All my bones and muscles aching      Thoughts and mind are surely flaking   Over luncheons hands are shaking   Surety of no mistaking   Cars and horns and glass is breaking      Give me a color, make it black or white   Give me a newspaper, tell me if it's right, tell me   Give me a nail or give me a bat   Give me a skinny or give me a fat, give me      Remembering the times I pray   To let me take my thoughts away   To think about another day   To help me deal with me   To help me deal with me to be the dogman      To be the dogman, dogman   To be the dogman   To be the dogman
