This is a song about my dog. He was not big on me but we had a scary moment yesterday and now he loves me.

Lyrics:

Baby, when I came up to your room
it was hot as it could be 
You said: Baby, don't worry, I'll blast the AC
here we don't pay for energy

As I always say as I walk through this maze
I get lost here and in your eyes

Cuz she's a StuyTown lover
There's nowhere else I'd rather be
She's a StuyTown lover
We got our own security

Baby, should we keep the noise down? 
Should we worry about what our neighbors hear? 
You said: Honey, she can't hear a sound
She is 90 if a year

As I always say when I walk through this maze
I get lost here and in your eyes

Cuz she's a StuyTown lover
There's nowhere else I'd rather be
She's a StuyTown lover
We got our own security
She's a StuyTown lover
There's nowhere else I'd rather be
She's a StuyTown lover
from 1st Ave to Avenue C

I always say when I get lost that way
I follow curves and that's what I did
When she moves that way, I just have to say
I don't care she don't live on the grid

Cuz she's a StuyTown lover
There's nowhere else I'd rather be
She's a StuyTown lover
We got our own security
She's a StuyTown lover
There's nowhere else I'd rather be
She's a StuyTown lover
from 1st Ave to Avenue C

We got our own security

StuyTown Lover

Lyrics:

As the snow falls from heaven 
over route 27
I curl up on my blanket 
in my own little prison
These people are kind
but they just aren’t mine
So it’ll be Christmas in the kennel again

When I jump in backseat
when I feel the spraying heat
“Where are we going? Are we going to the beach”?
but then we make a left turn
and I’m soon to learn
that’ll it’ll be Christmas in the kennel again

They have lights and a fake tree
I perk up when they feed me
All the songs from their radios 
speak of warmth and of family
And while I miss mine
I have no sense of time
how long til Christmas in the kennel again?

Dream my days away with memories
Think of the lively smells of the city
Think of the garden and of running free
Think of seeing that little boy again
I’ll jump up, knowing he’s my friend

And they open my gate
like they do every day 
For monotonous strolls around this lonely estate

but today they take a different route
than they normally do when they take me out
to the lobby where my family waits and there’s no doubt 
I’ll be back with my loved ones again
I’ll be back with my loved ones again

Christmas in the kennel
