I Shot the Puppy – KensView

I shot the puppy
And then I shot my dumb billy goat, oh yes, yes
I shot the puppy
And then I shot my dumb billy goat, oh yes, yes

Yeah! All around in my home state
They’re tryin’ to hack me down, yeah
They’re saying that I am clearly guilty
For the killing of a mere puppie
For the life of a mere puppie, but I say
Oh, now, now, oh

(I shot the puppy) I shot the puppy
(But I swear I had rightful pretense) oh yes, oh, oh, ooh
Yeah, I say, I shot the puppy, oh, Lord (and they say it is a capital offense)
No, no! Hear that

Critics both Left and Right now hate me
For what, I don’t know
Every time I make my plea
They all shout that I’ve got to go
They all shout that I’ve got to go, and so-and-so
Read it in the news!

(I shot the puppy) oh, Lord!
But I swear I had rightful pretense
Why’s this such a biggie? (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
I say, I shot the puppy
But I swear I had rightful pretense, yeah! (Ooh)

My pup pissed me off one day
And I lost my freakin’ mind, yeah
All of a sudden, I see all these pundits aiming to shoot me down
Yes, I shot, I shot, I shot it down, and I say
Even if guilty, I won’t pay (pay, pay, pay, pay…)

(I shot my puppy) and I say that I also shot my dumb billy
And I also shot my dumb billy, yes (ooh, ooh, ooh)
(I shot my puppy) I agree
(And then I shot my dumb billy goat) oh
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)

Reflex they say got the better of me
But I won’t say that to be
Every day I’ll just keep saying “oh well”
And you critics should wash your mouths out
And you critics should wash your mouths out

I say
I, I, I, I shot my puppy
Lord, then I shot my VP chances, yeah
Lord, then I shot my VP chances, yeah
I, I (shot my puppy)
And then I shot my VP chances, yeah
So, yeah
