Ding Dong lyrics

my cat died and I quickly poured myself some gin
did she die from old age or was it for my sins
god I loved her oh so much
miss her little kitty touch
does she miss me does she care
oh I miss her kitty stare
do you have a little time
would you like to ease my mind
talk for hours and never stop
chop your head off
be a lighter person
brighter person nicer
but you`ve heard it all before

(chorus)
so ding dong
there`s the doorbell hello man in white
he`s gonna make you all well
getcha through the night
but hey now
you don`t feel better
as you take your fresh bromide
maybe this man of letters lied

let me tell you `bout a dream I had the other night
you were in it boy you sure gave me a super fright
I was walking down the street
downtown by the DMV
you popped out behind a door
it was odd you were on all fours
do you have some time to spare
you were barking at a bear
it said hey you`d better stop
chop your head off
be a lighter person
brighter person
nicer
but you`ve heard it all before

(chorus)
so ding dong
there`s the doorbell
hello man in red
he`s gonna make you all well
getcha into bed
but hey now
you don`t feel better
as you wake and slowly rise
maybe this smooth jet-setter lied

(instrumental break)

stick around one minute more
I`m smarter than you think
do I sound like an old bore
oh man it`s just the drink
I didn`t always hit the gin
there were times when I fit in
they`ll never know how much I tried
did I tell you my cat died
do you have
