​(Intro) The mailman's comin' down the street A furry rocket on four feet A four-wheeled beast, it's black and fast He's gonna catch that thing at last ​(Verse 1) He's been chasing it for years and years Through barking fits and human cheers They say a dog can't catch a car But they don't know who my dog's are ​(Chorus) He caught the bumper, felt the gleam It wasn't quite what it would seem He stood there, panting, tail wagging low Now where's that car supposed to go? ​(Verse 2) The driver stares, mouth on the floor The dog just waits, and wants some more He’s not quite sure what happens next He’s never gotten to this part of the text ​(Bridge) The other dogs all bark and stare Can’t believe what's happening there He’s not a hero, not a fool Just a good boy, being cool ​(Chorus) He caught the bumper, felt the gleam It wasn't quite what it would seem He stood there, panting, tail wagging low Now where's that car supposed to go? ​(Verse 3) He got the prize, he won the race With a triumphant, furry face He dropped the leash and turned to me And wondered what was for his tea ​(Outro) He's a good boy, that's what he is And now that car is his, all his
