In the doghouse again

Let me state this very clearly from the outset so that there may be no chance of things being misconstrued. It's just a song, OK?

Scored piano and wind section.

words and music by Martin Stirrup 2004

In the doghouse again

A A+
When I get home from work just a little late
A6 A13
Its good to see my dinner there sitting on a plate
D Eb E
But why’s it outside in the rain… oh no
C D A
I guess I’m in the doghouse again

You say do this do that put those letters on that shelf
I say in the time you took to nag me you could have done those things yourself.. oh no
Some foolish words and love is slain.
Welcome to the doghouse again

E
Love can be selfless, love can be blind
A
I know this much is true
E
But your love’s Quixotic and sometimes unkind
A Dm Bb A
Still I Just can’t stop myself from loving you

I have a happy home, I’m a loving family man
But there’s just one thing puts the weasels in my can
For as love waxes it can wane
And then I’m in the doghouse again

Move over rover, take fido with you too
You may be howling but I’m the one who’s blue
I think I’ll bring a bottle just to ease my pain
I’m out here in the doghouse again
