If I had the freedom My kind are denied I'd be Walking by your side I'd be the faithful hound you need I'd simply follow where you lead But I'm just a scoundrel Howling at the moon
If I had the breeding To go with my desire I'd be Sleeping by your fire I'd be your comfort and your guard No longer pining in the yard But I'm just a mongrel Howling at the moon
I'd be your companion As years go rushing by If you Listen to my cry And if this dog could have his day He'd never fail he'd never stray But I'm just a down and out Howling at the moon But I'm just a down and out Howling at the moon
