Caravan - The Dog, The Dog, He's At It Again
From the 1973 album 'For Girls Who Grow Plump in the Night'
Music and words by Pye Hastings
Suggested fingerings:
[x35553]
[133211]
[355433]
[466544]
[x03210]
[355400]
Note: On the Ab and G chords, Pye sometimes changes them up by playing an
add9th (Abadd9: [468544], Gadd9: [357433]), but if you can't stretch that
far, it still sounds fine with Ab and G.
Lo-o-o-onely girl, would you like a sweet to eat?
I've got something that I'd like you to hold
And my brother will tell you that it's good for your cold
So, there, surely there is nothing wrong
Take my hand and we'll try to make a stand
For all censorship, decency, all night long
You're naive if you really do believe that the world is so full of sin
Never look back on the things that you lack when you're in
My mother said that I should stay out of bed
But I know that I like it in there
Legs and thighs, hellos and goodbyes, it's all there___
Oh____, oh my___, oh my___, oh_____
Suck a sugar dandy, rock'n'roll
Lick a-licking lozenge cures the soul

Here is my cure for colds and here's my cure for measles
When you've tried those ,if you've invented your toes
Well you're surely in luck, you'll get a standing good show
So if you come with me, we'll try to clean the inside out
This filthy old world is such a beautiful girl
And you must have a sweet, I'm sure it's good for your feet
|: :|
You're naive if you really do believe that the world is so full
of sin
Never look back on the things that you lack when you're in
My mother said that I should stay out of bed but I know that I
like it in there
Legs and thighs, hellos and goodbyes, it's all there
Oh, medicine gone, it's coming on strong,
It's coming on and on and on and on
Oh, medicine gone, it's coming on strong,
It's coming on and on and on and on and
Oh____, oh my___, oh my___, oh...
