phideaux he was a little too curious
he went a little too close to the road, phideaux
he was a little too dumb
a little slow on the run
phideaux - poor little doggie,
woof woof woof
phideaux, he was a little rebellious
didn't want to do what he was told, oh no
being a little brave went
to play out on the pavement
phideaux, poor little doggie,
woof woof woof
he's got the dead dog blues
the dead dog blues
he's got the dead dog blues
he was a good little doggie
he didn't take it too serious
the warnings that i said and now he's dead
he was a little too tall
to fit underneath that car
phideaux - poor little doggie
he was a good little doggie
he just wanted to be free
he never did ever did want to be
like everyone else's dog you see
like an animal on a chain
he didn't think they had a brain
he thought he was smarter than all the rest
he thought he knew what was best
he was a runnin' funnin'
his tongue was a flippin' and flappin'
and he was a barkin' yappin'
the poor little pup was a little delirious
he seriously didn't see that old big car
that was honking and rolling his engine was revvin'
and he was just strollin' not thinking of heaven
then boom - all of a sudden
all of his priorities changed
