[Verse]
The dog thought he'd start a movement out back,
To unionize critters, both furry and fat.
He barked at the neighbors, he howled at the gate,
"Join me, dear cat, let's negotiate!"
[Chorus]
But the cat said, "Dog, you're barking up the wrong tree,
I don't need your picket signs or solidarity.
I’m a lone, proud feline, do I have to explain,
I vote against unions, I like the free market's reign."
[Verse 2]
The dog scratched his head, he just couldn’t see,
Why his pal the cat said, “It ain't for me.”
"Think of the kibble, the toys we could share,
Together we’d fight for a better fare!"
[Chorus]
But the cat said, "Dog, quit hounding my space,
I’m not here for rallies or a workers' embrace.
I hunt on my own, my taxes are light,
Free enterprise suits me, now go take a hike."
[Bridge]
The dog sat down, feeling so betrayed,
"Guess I shouldn’t try to mix business and strays."
The cat flicked their tail and purred with pride,
"Sorry, ol' pup, we're on different sides."
[Chorus]
The cat said, "Dog, time to let it go,
Your union dreams are barking mad, you know.
I’m a claw-and-paw capitalist at heart,
So stick to your bones, we’re just too far apart."
