-38Lookin ’ for Love Old dog sleeping in the sunshine, new dog barking at the door. Dead dog lying by the roadside; he’s not chasing cars anymore. Bad dog hunting for a dog fight; the bird dog pointing at the gun Devil dog running down the back road and the hot dog‘s lookin’ for a bun. Lookin’ cause love ain’t just a human condition. Forgiveness is easier to get than permission. Dogs and cats and birds and fishes, Everybody’s lookin’ for love. Fat cat standing with his hand out; hep cat juking on the floor. Sail cat lying in the highway, and the cool cat’s blowing five to four. The tomcat’s looking for a night out; the polecat’s stinking up the place The sad cat’s sitting on the sofa; he’s got tears rolling down his face. He’s cryin’ cause love ain’t just a human condition Forgiveness is easier to get than permission Dogs and cats and birds and fishes, Everybody’s lookin’ for love. Cat bird sittin’ in the good seat; mockingbird singing me a song. Big Bird singing on the TV and the baby bird’s singing right along. Jaybird naked as a newborn; the early bird’s shouting out the news, About the dove bird heading for the gumbo and the jail bird singin’ the blues. He’s singin’ cause love ain’t just a human condition Forgiveness is easier to get than permission Dogs and cats and birds and fishes, Everybody’s lookin’ for love. -39Goldfish treasured in the fishbowl; cold fish giving you the hand. Catfish feeding on the bottom; he’s sucking up something from the sand. Little fish hiding from the big fish; big fish looking for a meal. Cod fish looking for the lost boys; I’m looking for my rod and my reel. Love ain’t just a human condition Forgiveness is easier to get than permission Dogs and cats and birds and fishes, Everybody’s lookin’ for love!
