Dog Days Are Over

Happiness / hit her / like a train on a tra-ck 
Coming towards her / stuck still / no turning ba-ck 
She hid around corners / and she hid under beds / 
She killed it with kisses and from it she fl-ed / 
With e-very bubble she sank with a drink / 
And wa-shed it away down the kitchen sink. 

The dog days are over 
The dog days are done 
The horses are comin' so you better run 

Run fast for your mother; run fast for your father / 
Run for your children all your sisters and brothers / 
Leave all your love and your longing behind. 
You can't carry it with you / if you want to survive 

The dog days are ove-r / 
The dog days are do~ne / 
Can you hear the horse-s/ 
'Cos here they come 

And I- never wanted / 
anything from yo-u / 
Except / 
e-verything / you had 
And / what was left after that too / Oh! 

Happiness / hit her / like a bullet in the ba-ck 
Struck from /a great height 


By someone /who should have known be-tte-r / than tha-t

The dog days are ove-r /
The dog days are do~ne /
Can you hear the horses /
'Cos here they co-me

Run fast for your mother / run fast for your father
Run for your children all your sisters and brothers
Leave all your love and your longing behind
You can't carry it with you / if you want to survive

The dog days are ove-r /
The dog days are do~ne /
Can you hear the horse-s/
'Cos here they co-me/

The dog days are ove-r /
The dog days are do~ne /
The horse-s are co-min'
So you'd better ru-n /

The dog days and over-r /
The dog days are do~ne /
The horse-s are co-mi -n' /
So you'd better ru--n
