give me a dollar or give me 50 cents  let me take it back if that ain't what I meant  give me a coat or give me a bite  give me a light bulb and make sure it's bright  give me the moon or give me everywhere  give me some powder to spray up in the air  Chorus:  let me take my thoughts away to think about  another day  remembering the times I pray to help me deal with me  to be the dogman  give me some attention lend me your ear  geve me what to do and get me out of here  give me a book give me something to read  give me a horse race and give me who's the lead  Chorus  all the sleeping never waking all the leaves in need  of raking  all the business undertaking all my bones and  muscles aching  thoughts and mind are surely flaking over  luncheons hands are shaking  surety of no mistaking cars and horns and glass  is breaking  give me a color make it black or white  give me a newspaper tell me if it's right  give me a nail or give me a bat  give me a skinny or give me a fat  Chorus
