Lyrics
[Verse 1] Self-preservation is the first law of nature Abide by the rules of the one who made you The good Lord help those who help themselves Look out for number one before you help somebody else [Chorus] 'Cause it's a poor dog Now, it's a poor dog It's a poor dog can't wag his own tail He can't wag his own tail [Verse 2] Now, it's a mighty poor captain, can't sell his own ship And it's a poor, poor actor, can't read his own script It's a poor foundation, can't hold up a house Now, it's a mighty poor cat, can't even catch a mouse [Chorus] 'Cause it's a poor dog It's a poor dog It's a poor dog can't wag his own tail He can't wag his own tail [Verse 3] Now, a chain is no stronger than its weakest link, oh yeah Now, a man ain't no stronger than he really really thinks From little acorns, a big tree grows And it's a mighty mighty poor rooster that can't even crow [Chorus] 'Cause it's a poor dog It's a poor dog It's a poor dog can't wag his own tail He can't wag his own tail [Outro] Now, a poor dog, hey, yeah, yeah, yeah It's a poor dog It's a poor dog Woo, a poor dog, hey Always tend to somebody else's business And he's always mindin' somebody's business Listenin' and barkin' I can hear him howlin' He's a poor dog, woo-hoo, yeah
