pete s holiday
we found a hill all green with grass
and cool with clover bloom
where bees go booming as they pass
boom zoom boom
my master took me in the car
and high upon the hill
we lay and stared up at the clouds
until the day grew chill
and moths came floating from the sky
and shadows stroked the ground
and we lay still and stared and stared
and what do you think we found
we found a star between the clouds
upon the edge of night
but when i jumped and barked at it
it hid itself in fright
then we drove back to town again
with my head on his lap
it tires a dog to scare a star
and then he needs a nap
my master is the same as god
when he thumps with his hand
people bring us hamburg steaks
at any eating stand
o master let us go right now
and find another star
and eat another hamburg steak
at a refreshment bar
pete the pup
