No Children Lyrics

I hope that our few remaining friends

Give up on trying to save us

I hope we come up with a failsafe plot

to piss of the dumb few that forgave us

I hope the fences we mended

Fall down beneath their own weight

And I hope we hang on past the...

    Okay, as much as I love dogs and have rewritten song lyrics for dogs. This is not an interpretation of "No children" or the intent of the song but, I have to admire the rewrite. Printing for my "99 Red Dogs"... they rule the world, my world.

    I hope that our few remaining humans
    Give up on trying to train us
    I hope we come up with a failsafe plot
    To eat all the cheese that escaped us
    I hope the tricks that we learned
    end up getting us in trouble
    And I hope I hold it past the last outside
    Inside I'll make a pee puddle

    And I hope the dog park fences
    Someday fall down
    And I hope the running brown rabbits lead me far away
    And I never come back to this town again
    in my life
    I hope I lie
    And tell everyone you didn't pee on that guy
    I hope you get bathed
    I hope we both get bathed

    I hope I cut my gums biting you tomorrow
    I hope it bleeds all day long
    Our friends say the best treats come in cargo shorts
    We're pretty sure they're all wrong
    I know the best treats of all
    are the kind you can roll in
    and I'm going to find them before you do
    I'll never hear good dog again

    And I hope when you think of me years down the line
    You can't find any of your toys
    And then you'll realize that just before I left
    I ate all your toys

    I am barking
    At nothing at all
    You are barking right with me
    We are total jerk faces
    And I hope you get bathed
    I hope we both get bathed.
