I’m just an old dog
My name is Grover
an’ I’m just a leftover.
At one time
I was in my prime.
Now I’m an old dog
who can no longer jog.
I’m just an old sock
now I barely walk.
I no longer roam
so I just stay home.
I used to be top notch
now I just watch.
I used to be fast
but that was the past.
I stay in the dog lot
’cause I can’t trot.
I have an owner
but I’m still a loner.
I’m just an old wretch
I can’t even fetch.
I’m just an old mutt
an’ I can’t even rut.
I’m just an old dog
an’ I sleep like a log.
