By Yoko Ono
"OKAY."
THE TOWN'S DAWNING, I'M THE ONLY ONE AWAKE.
THE STREETS ARE WHISTLING, I LIGHT MY FOURTH CIGARETTE.
I THINK OF MY FRIENDS, THEY WERE ONCE NOT SO DEAD.
WHAT ARE THEY THINKING NOW?
ONE DAY I'LL BE JUST A LITTLE STONE,
NOBODY'LL KNOW THAT THE STONE HAD SUCH EMOTIONS.
ANYWAY, I'M ALWAYS ON THE RUN.
SOMEDAY I'LL BE REMEMBERED FOR THE PHONE CALLS I NEVER MADE,
LETTERS I NEVER MAILED,
AND STORIES I NEVER FINISHED TELLING ANYONE.
THE TOWN'S YAWNING, I LET MY DOG WALK ME AROUND.
HE TOOK A SHOOT AND PEOPLE SMILED,
I TRIED THE SAME AND PEOPLE FROWNED.
YES, IT'S A DOG, DOGTOWN.
ONE DAY LET'S BE A PAIR OF TREES,
NOBODY'LL KNOW THAT THE TREES HAD SUCH A HISTORY.
ANYWAY, WE'D NEVER BE THIS LONELY.
SOMEDAY I'LL BE REMEMBERED FOR THE FINE WORDS I MEANT TO KEEP,
A WARM SMILE I MEANT TO LEAVE,
AND A TRUE SONG I MEANT TO FINISH WRITING ALL MY LIFE.
YES, IT'S A DOGTOWN, IT'S A DOGTOWN,
YES, IT'S A DOGTOWN, IT'S A DOGTOWN.
DOG, DOG, DOG, DOG, DOG, DOG, DOG, DOG, DOGTOWN.
PEAS PORRIDGE LUCK, PEAS PORRIDGE STUCK,
PEAS PORRIDGE IN THE POT NINE YEARS OLD.
SOME GETS PAID, SOME GETS GRADES,
SOME STAYS IN THE POT NINE YEARS OLD.
YES, IT'S A DOGTOWN, IT'S A DOGTOWN,
YES, IT'S A DOGTOWN, IT'S A DOGTOWN.
DOG, DOG, DOG, DOG, DOG, DOG, DOG, DOG, DOGTOWN.
PEAS PORRIDGE LOVED, PEAS PORRIDGE SPOILED,
PEAS PORRIDGE IN THE POT NINE YEARS OLD.
SOME GETS LAID, SOME GETS SLAYED,
SOME STAYS IN THE POT NINE YEARS OLD.
YES, IT'S A DOGTOWN, IT'S A DOGTOWN,
YES, IT'S A DOGTOWN, IT'S A DOGTOWN.
DOG, DOG, DOG, DOG, DOG, DOG, DOG, DOG, DOGTOWN.
DOGTOWN, DOGTOWN, DOGTOWN, DOGTOWN,
DOGTOWN, DOGTOWN, DOGTOWN -.
