Knife-Wielding Dog

[Verse] Well, my hound got into the kitchen last night, He came out grinnin', holdin' somethin' tight, It weren't a bone, not a stick, not a toy, He found himself a knife and he's grinnin' with joy. [Verse 2] He’s always been a rascal, but this was too much, How'd he get paws on that sharp little touch? He’s prancin’ and dancin’, thinkin’ it’s a game, But I’m over here sweatin', calling his name. [Chorus] Oh Lordy, fido's got a knife, Never thought I'd see such strife, He’s gone from fetchin’ sticks, to what a fright, Somebody save me from this barkin' knight! [Verse 3] I tried to bribe him with a treat in hand, But he just wagged his tail and made a quick stand, He’s slicin’ through the air like a kitchen chef, I’m duckin' and dodgin’, worried for myself. [Verse 4] He ain’t mean, he’s just plain clueless, But a dog with a knife? That’s somethin' ruthless, I finally got the courage, moved real slow, And thanked the heavens when he let it go. [Bridge] Now, he's back to chewin’ on his old rawhide, And I keep my knives locked way inside, It’s just a tale from a small-town life, Of havin' a hound that gave me such a fright.
