Iowa Blues (Frankie and Johhny)

Butchy and Snickers had ice storms
Oh doggy dog it was cold
Snickers said "Butchy won't you carry me
So my poor feet will stay warm."

He was her dog
But it was really cold

Butchy said "Snickers I love ya"
"Wouldn't refuse you a thing."
"But when you ask me to pick you up
I hear my poor poor back Snapping"

He was her dog
But it was really cold

Snickers said "Butchy please help me!"
"Make this storm stop, make it nice"
"I wanna see some sunshine now
I'm gettin' sick of snow and ice!"

He was her dog
But it was really cold

Butchy said "Snickers stop bitchin'
I don't have any control."
"The ice and wind and snow and sleet are
gonna take their terrible toll"

He was her dog
But it was really cold

Snickers got on the computer
Dialed up old Expedia
Ordered herself a first class pass
To Arizona where it's warm

He was her dog
But it was really cold

Snickers said "Butchy, I'll see ya
Going to visit old Gus."
Probably drop in on Joey Stains and
that silly dog Doofus"

He was her dog
But it was really cold

Butchy said "Snickers, don't do this!"
"You'll miss me soon, you will see."
Arizona may have lots of sun, but in
Iowa you've got me!"

He was her dog
But it was really cold

Snickers said "OK I'll stay here.
You are my buddy, it's true.
I know Id miss
You and mom and dad and the fire with flames so blue"

He was her dog
But it was really cold

Butchy said "Snickers my buddy,
Get on my back and let's go
I'll carry you right down the steps and
I'll dump you in the snow."

He was her dog
But it was really cold.

Now that you've heard their sweet story
A lesson is waiting for you.
True love and friendship will win out
Even if your toes turn blue

He was her dog
But it was really cold.

Hey Butchie and Snickers and Mama:
Glad you enjoyed the lyrics...I'm thinking though that I will ship you Teka and you can teach her about snow. Can't imagine being shut up with Teka all day! Butchy you are one saintly guy.

My mom says it's not you guys it's ACS they must be having problems or something because she tried to get to a donation page for you guys and it said this event isn't set up yet. So really it's my mom's fault because she signed us up too soon. She'll call the local ACS on Monday and get some kind of answer. Thank you though for wanting to donate. But I guess be patient.
Wirey hugs,

ps mom posted here so your muzzer didn't think she didn't check for you guys.
