[Verse 1] Down on Elm Grove, in Bolton town, there was one old dog who ran things down. Sandy McSnatch, he had no shame, stole a heel of bread then wagged his tail like a flame. He'd swipe your plate the second you blink, then act real innocent by the sink. [Pre-Chorus] If the door stood open, he was already in, nose in the biscuit tin, grin on his chin. [Chorus] Sandy McSnatch, Sandy McSnatch (stole that snack) Sandy McSnatch, Sandy McSnatch (watch him snatch) He'd take your lunch and leave you the crust, still loved that fool 'cause he was one of us. [Verse 2] He'd eat from the kids potty, what a sight, then knock over chairs in the middle of the night. Big muddy paws and a guilty face, tore through the house like a two-leg race. Mrs. Brown would holler, "Dog, sit down!" He'd flop on his side and win the whole town. [Pre-Chorus] You'd point a finger, he'd tip his head, like he heard the words but forgot what they said. [Chorus] Sandy McSnatch, Sandy McSnatch (stole that snack) Sandy McSnatch, Sandy McSnatch (watch him snatch) He'd take your lunch and leave you the crust, still loved that fool 'cause he was one of us. [Bridge] On Elm Grove steps he'd soak up sun, trouble in his eyes and a heart full of fun. You could clean the floor and shut the gate, he'd find his way back just a little too late. [Chorus] Sandy McSnatch, Sandy McSnatch (stole that snack) Sandy McSnatch, Sandy McSnatch (watch him snatch) He'd take your lunch and leave you the crust, still loved that fool 'cause he was one of us. [Outro] Bolton knew that mutt by name, Sandy McSnatch still wore the fame. Knock over chairs, then curl up tight, best little menace in the whole damn town.
