Lyrics What Would You Say - Live at Sleep Train Amphitheatre, Marysville, CA 07.30.03 - Dave Matthews Band

Up and down the puppies' hair
Fleas and ticks jump everywhere
'Cause of original sin
Down the hill fell Jack and Jill
And you came tumbling after
'Cause of original sin

Now rip away the tears
Drink a hope to happy years
And you may find
A lifetime's passed you by

What would you say
Don't drop the big one
If you a monkey on a string
Don't cut my lifeline
If you a doggie on a chain
Don't bite the mailman
What would you say

I was there when the bear
Ate his head, and thought it was a candy
Well everyone goes in the end
Knock knock on the door
Who's it for, there's nobody in here
Look in the mirror, my friend

I don't understand at best
I cannot speak for all the rest
But morning rise a lifetime's passed me by

What would you say
Don't drop the big one
If you a monkey on a string
Don't cut my life line
If you a doggie on a chain
Don't bite the mailman
What would you say

Every dog has its day, every day has its way
Of being forgotten- "Mom, it's my birthday"
Would you say
What would you say
What would you say
'What could you say'
What would you say (what would you say now)

I was there when the bear
Ate his head, thought it was a candy
Everyone goes in the end
Knock knock on the door
Who's it for, there's nobody in here
Look in the mirror, my friend

I don't understand at best
I cannot speak for all the rest
Well morning rise a lifetime's passed me by
What would you say
