Spoken
It's a story of a dog who lives out in Bell's Corner
This dog want to move in in Toronto and he can swing with the city dogs
They would not accept him 'cause of his lowly breed
But this dog has talents. Talents he displays on every street corner, lamp, post, garden gate, kirk stone and fire hydrant in there.
He was out having a great piddling contest
Verse
GWell a farmer's dog once Ccame to town, by the Gchristian name of DPete
And he Gwas a hound of Chigh renown and his Dlooks were hard to Gbeat
G
And Gas he walked inCto the town 'twas Gbeautiful to Dsee
His Gwork on every Ccorner and his Dmark on every Gtree
G
As he Bmwatered every Emgateway and he Bmnever missed a Empost
'Cause Cpiddling was his Gmasterpiece and Dpiddling was his boast
| G G | G G | G
Verse
Well the Gcity dogs stood Clooking on with a Gdeep and envious Drage
To Gsee this simple Ccountry dog, the Dpiddler of the age
G G
They Gsniffed him over Cone by one and they Gsniffed him two by Dtwo
But Gnoble Pete in Chigh disdain stood Dstill till they were Gthrough
G
And Bmas they sniffed him Emover, their Bmpraise for him ran Emhigh
And Cwhen one sniffed him Gunderneath Pete Dpiddled in his eyes
| G G | G G | G G
Verse
Well then Gjust to show these Ccity dogs that he Gdidn't give a damn D
Pete Gstrolled into the Cgrocer's shop and he Dpiddled on the ham
G G
GPiddled on the Conions and he Gpiddled on the floor D
And Gwhen the grocer Ckicked him out, Pete Dpiddled on the Gdoor
G
Well Bmbehind him all the Emcity dogs deBmbated what to do Em
They'd Chold a piddling Gcontest to Dshow him who was who

Verse
Well they Gshowed Pete all the Cpiddling posts that Gthey knew about the town D
They Gstarted out with Cmany wink to Dget the poor dog Gdown
G
But GPete was with them Cevery trick with Gvigor and with Dvim
For a Gthousand piddles Cmore or less were Dall the same to Ghim
G
And Bmall along went Emnoble Pete with hind Bmleg kicking high Em
While Bmmost were lifting Emlegs in bluff or Bmpiddling mighty Emdry
And Bmon and on went Emnoble Pete as he Bmwatered every Emsandhill
And Call the city Gchampions were Dpiddled to a standstill
| G G | G G
Verse
Well then GPete an exhiCbition gave in Gall the ways to Dpiddle
Like Gdouble drips and Cfancy flips and Dnow and then a Gdribble
G G
And Gall the time the Ccountry dog did Gneither wink nor Dgrin
But Gpiddled blithely Cout of town as Dhe had piddled in
G G
Now the Bmcity dogs said, "EmSo long Pete, your Bmpiddling did defeat Emus?"
But Cno one ever Gput them wise that DPete had diaGbetes
