Liner Notes

Written from the point of view of a fictional character (I Mall) looking back on his life events on the occasion of his 99th birthday in 2052.

Lyrics

As I recall, the house was quiet
It happened on that fateful night
A new member had joined our clan
She was neither woman nor man

A dog, we named her Pandora
As a puppy we adored her
We tempted fate, that sobriquet
Then came Bud on that fateful day

Bud and Pan, they liked each other
Soon in time, Pan was a mother
First puppy one, then puppy two
Then there were six, before we knew

Woe is us, houseful of dogs
Would we have had that dialogue
We might have opted for a cat
And saved us from what Pan begat

Samson had the longest hair
Princess had a face that’s fair
Teddy looked just like a bear
Pepper liked to sneeze

Shadow’s coat was black and white
Morgan cowered as in fright
All of them barked through the night
Every one had fleas

Woe is us, houseful of dogs
Would we have had that dialogue
We might have opted for a cat
And saved us from what Pan begat
