You Know

Axel and Bussie and Dean-o and Butchy, Snickers and Gussie and Maxie and Archie
But do you recall, the most famous terrier of all?

Asta the wire fox terrier, was a star in Hollywood
And if you ask his agent, he was very, very good
All of the other Dog Stars used to watch him jealously
Asta rode in a big car, they got rides in jalopies

Then one sunny desert day, Asta went outside
Cary Grant came up to say, "Hey Asta, want a ride"
They got into a roadster, drove along Rodeo Drive
This is the life for wireys, this is where a wirey thrives.

Asta made many movies, lots with Nick and Nora too
He got a lot of fan mail, and a lot of love notes too
There were lots of wirey girls wanting to be friends
But to Nora he was true, right until the movie end.

Ah, my hero - Asta! My mom's previous WFT was named after him. I am too, when he was in the movie "The Awful Truth" with, yup, Cary Grant. He was Mr. Smith in that (Smitty to his friends.) Gussie, you're a great songwriter! Keep it going!

Your buddy,
Smitty
