She says: "Bark, howl, do what you like But if you're going to growl, just growl into the mike We're gonna play a game called sample the dog" Sample the dog...

Now Cassy can't read & China can't write & The Board of Education mumbles in the night A prayer for our nation: "Lord let us Sample the dog..." The exact same thing is happenin today In a million homes across the USA Everybody's workin, tryin to sample the dog
