Jane Siberry - Everything Reminds Me of My Dog

Everything reminds me of my dog
The guy in the store reminds me of my dog
Telephones remind me of my dog ... yoo-hoo
Taxicabs remind me too
If you remind me of my dog
We’ll probably git along little doggie git along
Git along little doggie git a ...

Smiling at strangers
(Better let them know you’re friendly)
The way people dress reminds me too
Pissing on their favourite tree
Sad things remind me of my dog
Cockroaches and other insects remind me too, don’t hit them
The blank expression of the little boy with thick glasses
Who picks himself up from the sidewalk and stands there blinking in the sun

If you remind me of my dog
We’ll probably git along little doggie git along
Git along little doggie git a ...

Like the man on the subway sitting across from me
And every time I looked at him he smiled
And by the time I got to the end of the subway line
I‘d given him at least ... oh ... twenty-five cookies

Guys in bars remind me of my dog
The way it takes you so long to choose the perfect table reminds me, too
If you remind me of my dog
We’ll probably git along little doggie git along
Git along little doggie git a...

Me and my ferocious dog
We’re walking down the street
And everyone we meet says
“Ach yer a goot doogie! ...”
“Ach yer a goot doogie! ...”
“Ach yer a goot doogie! ...”

Except when we go for a walk to get the Sunday paper
I stand there and read the headlines - he reads the wind
Sometimes he hits a funny smell and laughs
I hate it when he does that – I feel so dumb
“What? What!?” I say

Everything reminds me of my dog
Beautiful things remind me, too
Sunsets remind me of my dog (Gina, go to your window)
Einstein reminds me of me dog (I want to pat his fluffy head)
This whole world reminds me of my dog
My dog reminds me of this whole world
Do I remind you of a dog? (thump thump)
I do? (faster thump thump)
Skyscrapers remind me of my dog sitting in the tall grass waiting for a rabbit
Guys in red Cameros too - it’s getting to be a habit

Artists remind me of my dog
Staking out their originality on the nearest tree
Old folks remind me of my dog
My dog reminds old folks of their dogs
(Barfy, Ruffo, Beanhead)
Gina says I remind her of the dog the way I just did that
Golfers teeing off remind me of my dog
The way he sits by me and shifts on his front paws
What is it you want? Look at it...
Do you want to go for a walk?
Do you want a cookie?
Do you want me to dial the number for you?
