Dog Stay

3:28I got up this morning, I couldn't find my socks, so I called information I said, "Hello, information?" She said, "Yes?" I said, "I can't find my socks" She said, "They're behind the couch" And they were I'm tired of calling up the movies And listening to that recording of what's playing So I bought the album Last time I went to the movies I was thrown out for bringing my own food in My argument was "The concession stand prices are outrageous Besides, I haven't had a barbecue in a long time" Went to the cinema, it said, "Adults, five dollars, children, two-fifty" I said, "Alright, give me two boys and a girl" One time, I went to the drive-in in a cab Movie cost me 95 dollars I went into a place to eat, it said, "Breakfast any time" So I ordered French toast during the Renaissance One time, right in the middle of a job interview I took out a book and I started reading The guy said, "What the hell are you doing?" I said, "Let me ask you one question If you were in a vehicle and you were travelling At the speed of light and then you turned your lights on Would they do anything?" He said, "I don't know" I said, "Forget it then, I don't wanna work for you" Every night, I go home, and I stare at my rug And I try to move it using telekinesis Been doing that every night for eight years The rug hasn't moved an inch The rest of the house is gone A while ago, I was in Las Vegas I was at the roulette table having a furious argument Over what I considered an odd number That's pretty funny I bought some powdered water, but I don't know what to add I spilled spot remover on my dog, now, he's gone
