(Twelve-bar blues intro—a driving, up-tempo Chicago shuffle, heavy bassline, mimicking the sound of running paws and wailing sirens) (Verse 1) Down on the South Side, the wind began to howl A little brown puppy went out on the prowl Five months old, just a sweet Cavapoo Now the whole windy city don't know what to do Daisy slipped her collar, she’s putting on a show Running lightning fast where the cold waters flow (Verse 2) She hit the Lakefront trail, her paws flying high A dozen squad cars came rolling on by From McCormick Place up to the harbor view The Chicago Police didn't know what to do Blue lights flashing all over the sand She’s the most wanted puppy in the whole damn land (Chorus) Go Daisy go, shake 'em on down You’re the cleverest pup in this blues-singing town The sirens are wailing, the flashing lights shine But that five-month-old baby is doing just fine (Verse 3) Look up in the sky, hear that chopper blade roar Channel 5 News is keeping the score The pilot's looking down, he's screaming on the air: "She just cleared the fence with inches to spare!" The crowd on the sidewalk is starting to cheer "Run Daisy run, get away from here!" (Guitar Solo 1 - 45 seconds of high-energy, bending strings, pacing the frantic chase up Michigan Avenue) (Verse 4) She bolted past the yachts at the Belmont Marina Fastest little dog that you ever seen-a The Sergeant dropped his radio, he tripped on his feet As Daisy hit the grass down on Fullerton Street They tried the dog treats, they tried a big net But they ain't caught this Cavapoo yet (Verse 5) Right into the gates of the Lincoln Park Zoo She gave a little bark to the kangaroo The cops came in hot, blocking every single track But Daisy doubled down and she doubled right back Out-running the law, out-smarting the best Chasing her shadow all the way to the West (Harmonica Solo - 45 seconds of wailing, train-whistle style, mimicking the news helicopter circling overhead) (Verse 6) The Mayor’s on the phone, the Chief’s getting mad "How did we lose the best lead we had?" But Daisy’s on the run, she's a brown furry streak Playing hide-and-seek by the edge of the creek No matter the plan, no matter the traps She’s leaving the blues to the boys in the caps (Chorus) Go Daisy go, shake 'em on down You’re the cleverest pup in this blues-singing town The sirens are wailing, the flashing lights shine But that five-month-old baby is doing just fine (Outro) Yeah, run Daisy run Free as the wind and just having some fun Through the parks, through the plazas, under the sun The blue-suits are tired, but Daisy ain't done (Big, theatrical Chicago blues finish—crashing cymbals, a final screeching guitar bend, and a cheeky harmonica "bark")
