Tangle in My Tail (to the tune of Tiger By The Tail)
Author Unknown

Mom’s found a tangle in my tail

It’s coming free.

This grooming’s gonna be the end of me.

My undercoat is looking rather pale,

Feels like Mom’s found a tangle in my tail.

 

Well she pulled out the clippers and the rake.

Then the shampoo and cologne, for goodness sake!

She cornered me in the shower stall

And cleaned my ears with a dozen cotton balls.

 

Mom’s found a tangle in my tail

It’s coming free.

Dad ran away to nobody knows where.

On the floor’s a huge pile of my hair.

I want to run away but I don’t dare.

If she brushes me much more, I’ll be bare.

She cut off my toe-nails with a saw.

And brushed my whole butt until it’s raw.

Now she’s trimming up my derriere,

I hope she doesn’t start on you-know-where.

 

There’s only so much more I can take.

This bathtub’s getting as muddy as the lake.

She’s lathering for the third time in a row.

I wonder how much more she’s got to go?

Now it’s time for the dryer and the towel.

Sister’s still as filthy as a sow.

She don’t know she’s next, but that’s ok.

Mom’s gonna scrub that grin right off her face.

 

My hair is gleaming and all fluffy-white.

My nose is shiny and as black as night.

My ears are tied up in little bows.

Mom’s chasing Sister with the garden hose.
