At any rate, the lyrics set below are a version, the song being altered by the singer presenting and it has been difficult to ascertain what lyrics were exactly the first.<\/p>\n

Jos. Morneault<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The dogs were having a party
\nThey came from near and far
\nSome flew in by aeroplane
\nAnd some drove in by car
\nThey went into the lobby
\nAnd signed the visitors\u00b4 book
\nAnd each one hung his arsehole
\nUpon a separate hook<\/p>\n

One dog was not invited
\nAnd this aroused his ire
\nHe burst into the meeting place
\nAnd loudly shouted, \u00b4Fire!\u00b4<\/strong><\/em>
\nNow the dogs were so excited
\nThey had no time to look
\nAnd each one took an arsehole
\nFrom off the nearest hook<\/p>\n

It is a sad sad story
\nFor it is very sore
\nTo wear another\u00b4s arsehole
\nYou\u00b4ve never worn before
\nAnd that is why when dogs meet
\nBy land or sea or foam
\nEach sniffs the other\u00b4s arsehole
\nIn hope it is its own<\/p>\n
