letra de dog on the moon - garry novikoff

i went down to the park just to fill up the day
i saw folks playing frisbee and catching some rays
and i felt a bit down when it got to the day’s end
wishing that there could be more to my weekend
when out of the blue came a dog with his master
a perfect little terrier, white alabaster
with a glint in his eye and a confidence in his gait
even when lifting his right leg to urinate
he seemed to say he was somehow superior
and me, i was thinking, ‘this dog seems familiar,”
i stared at the hound and then that’s when it came to me
bringing up memories of this doggie’s fame to me
this dog was not any regular rover
this was the dog they made all the fuss over
who would have thought i’d cross paths on this sunday in june
with the first dog to walk on the moon?

you see this dog somehow got all this attention
even his master got less of a mention
when they opened up sp-ce travel for the civilians
his master, a playboy, has spent several millions
to go the moon and to make it all merrier
he had decided that he’d take his terrier
the talk shows and newspapers ate up the story
you’d see this white pup on the tube in his glory
the dog’s popularity would never falter
he even got interviewed by barbara walters
the covered the training and all preparations
and it seemed that we all held our breath as a nation
the day of the lift off for this little pet
and later the image we’ll never forget
that first step for canines in his little doggy sp-ce suit
for the first dog to walk on the moon

and when i was young i had my dreams of greatness
of flying in rockets in sp-ce being weightless
i dreamed i could be like some star of sp-ce travel
but many years later my dreams would unravel
i guess i just wasn’t a good enough student
i made some life choices that weren’t so prudent
i work on the phones now in customer service
telling my callers, “hi, bob at your service”
i’m fielding complaints at this 800 number
what i do for money just couldn’t be dumber
my company makes things like hair dye for men
i hear the same questions again and again
things like “is it ok to use this on my eyebrows?”
when it says on the box ‘not for use on your eyebrows’
and it sure doesn’t seem i’ll do anything great all that soon
like this dog who has been to the moon

and god, i don’t know if you’re somewhere out there
but if you are listening, it’s truly unfair
i look at this dog and i see he has knowledge
like nothing i learned in community college
this dog has seem worlds that i never will access
and he won’t have to struggle with failure or taxes
this is dog that has so much i lack
this is a dog who has been there and back
and god, i don’t know if there’s reincarnation
but if you can help me in this situation
there’s just one thing that i hope you can do for me
maybe next time you can really come through for me
in my next life cause i know this one’s shot
in my next life make me something i’m not
what i’m asking to be, as i pray to you under these stars
is the first dog to touch down on mars
