[Intro - Upbeat piano chords, walking bass line, light drums] [Verse 1]- [Swing style, playful] Clock is ticking, it’s five o’clock on the dot Driving home to the best friends that I’ve got The house is quiet, but behind that wooden door Four little paws and then another four Shiva’s waiting, my chocolate labrador And sweet little Clio, champagne spinone I adore [Pre-Chorus - Building up the rhythm] They hear my keys, they know the sound The happiest pups in this whole town Ready to jump, ready to play To chase the lonely blues away [Chorus - Catchy, energetic brass explosion] Oh, they go crazy when I walk through the door! Tail-waggin' rhythm all over the floor! Shiva’s jumping high, Clio’s spinning around The sweetest kind of love that I have ever found Yeah, the door opens up and the joy hits the roof Pure happy hearts from the nose to the hoof! [Verse 2 - Slightly slower, sweet and smooth] But in the morning, when I put my jacket on Their eyes get heavy, they know that I’ll be gone A little sad, sitting by the window pane Counting the hours till I’m back again But they’re my shadow, they’re my guiding light Making every dark day feel so bright [Bridge - Soft piano, intimate, emotional jazz ballad vibe] And when I’m down, when I’m feeling sick or blue They always know exactly what to do No need for words, they just understand They come right over, lending a helping hand Two little wet noses resting on my knees Whispering comfort with the greatest of ease [Guitar & Saxophone Solo - Swingin' and lively] [Chorus - Maximum energy, big band finale] Oh, they go crazy when I walk through the door! Tail-waggin' rhythm all over the floor! Shiva’s jumping high, Clio’s spinning around The sweetest kind of love that I have ever found Yeah, the door opens up and the joy hits the roof Pure happy hearts from the nose to the hoof! [Outro - Fading out, playful piano riffs] My chocolate girl, my champagne pup With you two around, I’m always looking up Shiva and Clio... yeah, you are my home. [Big final brass hit] [Fade out]
