Doggie Heaven

so here's the complete song
(composed Dec, 2007, Glenn Bowen)

I don't want to go to People Heaven
I'd probably meet Don Rumsfield there
I'd call him an Ass and He'd call me a Jerk
He'd kick me in the balls, and I'd pull out his hair

we'd kick,and we'd bite and we'd spit and we'd swear
'til some Heavenly Angel comes out of nowhere,
grabs us by the scruff, throws us way down below
in that Eternal Fire, where bad people go
full of all the bad people, who do all the bad things
and everyone sings ------like me

No I don't want to go to People Heaven,
it's full of Republican Christians, you can't make me go
there must be a place called Doggie Heaven,
yeh that's the place where I want to go

yes, give me a coat of long brown hair
give me a tail, hey I don't care
even call me Rover, I'll still be your friend,
and when this life is over -send me to Doggie Heaven

Yes, Suzie and and Bootsie, I will see you soon
Oliver old pal, we'll go howl at the Moon,
Casie I know you'd never leave me alone,
It wont be too long 'cuz I'm going back home,
to a place where I will spend all eternity,
with lots of good friends who care about me,
you know you're home when you can pee on a tree----
in Doggie Heaven

another song I wrote yesterday (Dec, 2007, Glenn Bowen)
(no title yet-maybe "Wheelchair by the Door")

He's an old man of Ninety
His wheelchair's by the door
He thinks his friends are coming
but they died in the War
He knows that you are family
but your name he can't recall
and if you can't see the Beauty,
you can't see at all

yes, if you can't see the Beauty
you can't see at all

She's the Old Lady in the shoe,
gets by on that Social Security check
But she'll break out the best china
aint no trouble, what the heck
the steaks are thick and juicy
when you leave, she asks you to call
and if you can't see the Beauty,
you can't can't see at all

Yeh, I tell you she's a Beauty
but you don't see at all

The cold wind was blowing trash
down this God-damned, lousy street
and I swear it was a week
since I last had a bite to eat
when I first picked up this harp
played it and had a ball
and if you can't hear the Beauty
you can't hear at all

If you can't hear the Beauty
you can't hear at all

anyways, as always -the website is
http://glennbowen.biz
and the email is glennwbowen@hotmail.com

next Gig is at the American Legion in Mound,Mn
on New Years Eve with the Barefoot Boogie Band,
Stop by and say hi,

Later,

Same old Shit

I'm working on a song called "Doggy Heaven",

and it starts out:



I don't want to go to People Heaven,

I'd probably meet Don Rumsfield there,

I'd call him an Ass, and he'd call me a Jerk,

He'd kick me in the balls, and I'd rip out his hair



We'd kick and we'd bite and we'd spit and we'd swear,

'til some heavenly Angel comes out of nowhere

grabs us by the scruff and throws us way down below

in that Eternal fire where the sinners go,

full of all the bad people who do all the bad things,

and everyone sings-----like me



no give me a coat of long brown hair,

give me a tail, I just don't care

even call me Rover, I'll still be friend,

and when it's all over,

send me to Doggy Heaven



(then I'll go into some lines about Dog's

I've owned in the past who are now in

Doggy Heaven)



and finally end with:

A place I can go spend all eternity

along with good friends who all care for me,

you know that you're Home when you pee on a tree

in Doggy Heaven



otherwise it's all the same old shit

but you gotta keep the Faith-

Later
