Rottweiler Blues Lyrics by Warren Zevon

Rottweiler Blues Lyrics

    Got a Glock in the bedside table
    Machine gun leaning by the bedroom door
    Kevlar vest in the closet
    Well, I wear it when I go to the store

    Shadows on the window
    Rustling in the hedge
    Faces at the peephole
    Footsteps on the ledge

    If you come calling
    He'll be mauling with intent to maim
    Don't knock on my door
    If you don't know my Rottweiler's name

    Halogen lights in the driveway
    Guardian Angels living next door
    One hundred pounds of unfriendly persuasion
    Sleeping on the Florida porch

    Slackers in the market
    Bangers in the mall
    Skinheads on the golf course
    Hunting for their balls

    If you come calling
    He'll be mauling with intent to maim
    Don't knock on my door
    If you don't know my Rottweiler's name

    Well, he's dreaming about an intruder or two
    And the promise of burglar blood
    He's yearning to chew on a gangster tattoo
    And to hear the proverbial sickening thud

    Shadows on the window
    Rustling in the hedge
    Faces at the peephole
    Footsteps on the ledge

    If you come calling
    He'll be mauling with intent to maim
    Don't knock on my door
    If you don't know my Rottweiler's name
