“Daddy Wouldn't Buy Me a Bow-Wow”

Description

The child regularly brings her cat to school because, she explains, "Daddy wouldn't buy me a bow-wow." She intends to do as she "'likes'" when she gets old, and have a parrot and children.

Notes

It's songs like this that make me wish we had a keyword "stupid." But the piece proved much more popular than it deserved, so here it is. - RBW
