Tom Waits

Thomas Alan "Tom" Waits (born December 7, 1949) is an American singer-songwriter, composer, and actor. Waits has a distinctive voice, described by critic Daniel Durchholz as sounding "like it was soaked in a vat of bourbon, left hanging in the smokehouse for a few months, and then taken outside and run over with a car." With this trademark growl, his incorporation of pre-rock music styles such as blues, jazz, and vaudeville, and experimental tendencies verging on industrial music, Waits has built up a distinctive musical persona. He has worked as a composer for movies and musical plays and has acted in supporting roles in films including Paradise Alley and Bram Stoker's Dracula; he also starred in the 1986 film Down by Law.

Oh mother I want a dog
I want a little dog
I saw a little dog
His name is happy

Well this is me
Don't get close to me now
I could be a shopkeeper
We'll call 'em

She 'bout six foot four
Now she's a wrecking-ball
Back over here together
She brought the bad weather with her

She got me coming through the dog door
She got me coming through the dog door

Got me a pitchfork
Oh step-ladders

You oughta walk away
Well you can't, but you oughta
Climb the brick up to the stairs
She got long black hair
But don't sit there
He let me keep the... chair

She got me coming through the dog door
She got me coming through the dog door

Pitchfork (pitchfork)
Crowbar (crowbar)
Clawhammer (clawhammer)
Hot tar (hot tar)

She got me through her middle name
But she can make it rain
She's a small town jail
And she's starving in the belly of the whale

She got me coming through the dog door
She got me coming through the dog door

Pitchfork (pitchfork)
Crowbar (crowbar)
Clawhammer (clawhammer)
Hot tar (hot tar)
