40 Dogs (Like Romeo and Juliet) Songtext
von Bob Schneider

Well if I spell it out
If I get it out
Will you hear me when
I tell you about
What I have to say
Before it gets to late

It′s not as easy
As I said it would be
But there's something right
About you and me
Something right about you and me

Well you′re the color of a burnt rug
You're the color of a sideways look
From an undercover cop in a comic book


You're the color of a storm in June
You′re the color of the moon
You′re the color of the night, that's right
Color of a fight, you move me
You′re the color of the color part
Of the Wizard of Oz movie

We're like Romeo and Juliet
We′re like 40 dogs, cigarettes
Well good times that haven't happened yet
But will

I can tell you where we′re gonna be
When the whole world falls into the sea
We'll be livin' ever after happily

All the boys taking you for granted
Tell you what they want with their eyes all slanted.
I don′t like the way they look at you
I don′t like the way they talk too
I don't like the way they talk to you
I wouldn′t let them talk to you like that

Put 'em up high, reach for the ceiling
Tell them that I′ll walk, dammit I'm reelin′
It ain't no crime, it's just dreams we′re stealing
Anything to get more of this feeling


You take the high and I′ll take the low
We'll get their before you know
We ain′t got no time to waste
We got too much life to taste

We're like Romeo and Juliet
We′re like 40 dogs, cigarettes
Well good times that haven't happened yet
But will

I can tell you where we′re gonna be
When the whole world falls into the sea
We'll be livin' ever after happily

Sometimes you remind me of a moonbeam
Or the ghost of a moonbeam out on the beach
Down by the coast slippin′ through the air like
The most beautiful thing I′ve ever seen

Come out tonight, come out with me baby
We'll throw the careful into the crazy
Turn the sky black into a sky blue
Turn the color shade into a hoo! hoo!
What I say is true, to make fire gotta burn a fuel
Make fire gotta burn a fuel
We can do what we want to do

We′re like Romeo and Juliet
We're like 40 dogs, cigarettes
Well good times that haven′t happened yet
But will

I can tell you where we're gonna be
When the whole world falls into the sea
We′ll be livin' ever after happily
