My Only Man of the Hour

I've been meaning to post these lyrics a little while ago- When I first got Stanley I was SOOO nervous about owning a "Pit Bull", especially because a guy at work would always tell me horrificly bloody stories about them. The second day I had my little guy, I got the new Norah Jones CD, The Fall, and it had a fabulous song that I SWEAR was written just for me, in that moment. (although I'm not trying to choose between a vegan/pot head) Now, it's pretty bluesy, relaxed, authentic bluesy, not her usual mellow/modern spin on blues. I absolutely ♥ it.

Norah Jones- Man of the Hour
It’s him or me
That’s what he said
But I can’t choose
Between a vegan and a pot head
So I chose you, because you’re sweet and you give me lots of lovin’ and you eat meat
And that’s how you became
My only man of the hour

You never lie
And you don’t cheat
And you don’t have any baggage tied to your forefeet
Do I deserve, to be the one, who will feed you breakfast, lunch, and dinner and take you to the park at dawn
Will you really
My only man of the hour

I know you’ll never bring me flowers
Flowers they will only die
And though you’ll never take a shower togetherI know you’ll never make me cry

You never argue
You don’t even talk
And I like the way you let me lead you when we go outside and walk
Will you really be
My only man of the hour?

There's another song that I also love... Dogs are just so wonderful! I saw a car magnet at Petco that I'd like to get, it's an outlined paw print that says "Who Saved Who?"... and it's SOOO TRUE for me & Stanley!

Nellie McKay- The Dog Song
I'm just a walkin' my dog
Singin' my song
Strollin' along
Yeah it's just me and my dog
Catchin' some sun
We can't go wrong

My life was lonely and blue
Yeah I was sad as a sailor
I was an angry 'un too
Then there was you
Appeared, when I was entangled
With youth, and fear, and nerves
Jingle jangle
Vermouth and beer
Were gettin' me mangled up
But then I looked in your eyes
And I was no more a failure
You looked so wacky and wise

And I said, lord I'm happy'cause I'm just a walkin' my dog
Singin' my song
Strollin' along
It's just me and my dog
Catchin' some sun
We can't go wrong'cause I don't care 'bout your hatin' and your doubt
And I don't care what the politicians spout
If you wanna companion
Well just go right to the pound
And find yourself a hound
And make that doggie proud
'cause that's what it's all about

My life was tragic and sad
Yeah I was the archetypal loser
I was a pageant gone bad
Then there was you on time
And wagging your tail
In the cutest mime
And you was in jail
I said woof, be mine
And you gave a wail
And then I was no longer alone
And I was no more a boozer
We'll make the happiest home

And I said lord I'm happy'cause I'm just a walkin' my dog
Singin' my song
Strollin' along
It's just me and my dog
Catchin' some sun
We can't go wrong
'cause I don't care 'bout your hatin' and your doubt
And I don't care what the politicians spout
If you need a companion
Well just go right to the pound
And find yourself a hound
And make that doggie proud
'cause that's what it's all about
That's what it's all about
That's what it's all abow-wow-wow-wout
That's what it's all about
