about

I was once doing a show talking about writing songs , and a drunk challenged me to write a song about dog shit on his shoe.
So this is what I wrote.

A few mates and I got together in my garage once a week and we recorded some of my 1920's style songs.The plan was to be able to be able to play them live with no overdubbing.
I've written a lot of these tunes over the years and wanted to try them out.
We were a 4 piece unit drums ,bass,piano and trombone.
We called ourselves the Plastic Palm Quartet.

lyrics

Dog shit on my shoe words and music by Anthony Lee
copyrite 2010

Yesterday I walked along a tree lined avenue
Just thinkin of the one I loved and suddenly I knew there was

dogshit on my shoe
there's dog shit on my shoe
ooh wee hot diggity dog there's
dog shit on my shoe

I'd try to wipe it off
I try to wipe it off
Ooh we hot diggity dog and
now it's on my socks

ragtime solo 16 bars

dogshit on my socks
ooh I'm feelin glum
Well I wiped my socks and oh my gosh
there's dogshit on my thumb

Middle 8
I can't take much more of this
can't take much more of this
how could I ever never ever
ask you for a kiss

dog shit on my shoe
there's dog shit on my shoe
ooh wee hot diggity dog there's
dog shit on my shoe

ragtime solo 16 bars

dog shit on my thumb
what am I to do
Well I wiped my nose and that's when I knews
dog shit on my shoe

Mid 8

can't take much more of this
can't take much more of this
how could I ever never ever ask you for a kiss
with dog shit on my shoe
dog poop on my shoe
ooh wee hot diggity dog there's
dog shit on my shoe

hold your nose when I walk by there's
dog shit on my shoe
can't somebody just tell me why there's
dog shit on my shoe
