Why Does a Dog Have More Rights Than I?
From Menagerie - Words & Music by Hope Levy
If I bring my own plastic bag
Can I take a dump on the sidewalk…
If I …eat a turkey leg
Can I bury it in the park…
I feel so demeaned
When I am denied the right
To use your facility
When I have to pee
Where do you go
Dogs use a tree
Oh why … does a dog have more rights than I
A dog gets to walk on all fours
But if I were to walk on all fours I’d be institutionalized
And a dog gets to let its tongue hang on out
But if I were to let mine hang out
I’d be crucified, even though they don’t do that anymore
A dog gets a pat on the head, throughout the day
Can be a seeing eyed dog, given the right of way
And dogs never wait in line
Oh why does a dog have more rights than I
Oh why does a dog have more rights than I
Sounds of barking during instrumental
I feel so demeaned
When I am denied the right
To lick a total stranger’s hand
When I feel delight
Dogs jump on people all the time
Oh why does a dog have more rights than I
Oh why does a dog have more rights than I
It’s true
That a dog has more rights than I
Oh why does a dog have more rights than I
Howling…..
