The little dog calls him Schweinhund | E |
The little dog calls him Pig dog | A |
She grumbles broken curses | G |
As she dreams in the August sun | F |

Well how can you blame the little dog | A |
Who was once the household darling | N |

No wonder she calls him Cochon | M |
And even Esp egrave ce de vache | P |

Yet once I wanted a sandwich | P |
Either caviar or cucumber | D |
When the sun had not yet risen | M |
And the moon had not yet sank | Q |
As I tiptoed through the hallway | R |
The big dog lay in slumber | D |
And the little dog slept by the big dog | A |
And her head was on his flank | Q |
