Lyrics Melissa Manchester – Junkyard Society Rag

Text:

Buster:
In junkyard society
We’re repelled by all propriety
Humility and modesty

Good manners and sobriety
We always gulp our meat
Our coats are never neat
Alas, we lack all poise
We’re full of natural noise
No pets you stroke and pat
You might as well be a cat
In junkyard society

All:
Society

Buster:
We are the mutual un-elite
An underclass from our head to feet
Our deeds are spiteful
Our mischief pure
We got a natural disorder
For which there’s no cure

Down to the junkyard
Straight to the junkyard
Step to the junkyard
Society rag

Francois:
That’s where you’re nobody’s perfumed pet

Sparky:
Where you can wet where you want to wet

Ruby:

Where you put charity on the shelf

Buster:
The only one that you’ll look out for
Is you yourself

All:
Down in the junkyard
Check out the junkyard
Doin’ the junkyard
Society rag

Sparky:
No distemper shots from the vet

Ruby:
Show your temper

Sparky:
Mean as you can get

All:
Down at the yard where we live and let

Francois:
Chaos and trouble
Oh, we do it double

Buster:
None of this play-it-safe house dog stuff
Our days are risky
Our nights are «ruff»
The peaceful life leaves us ill at ease
We’re crude and loud in a crowd
And very proud of our fleas

Mooch:
I love this guy!

All:
Down at the junkyard
Check out the junkyard
Step to the junkyard
Straight to the junkyard
Doin’ the junkyard

Sparky:
Sing it, boy!

All:
Society rag!
