Petey’s Lament
It’s not easy being evil all the time
It’s not easy being evil all the time when you’ve got kids
—
Ding Dong Magoo
Well if you ever make a movie of my life
Tell you what I’d like you to do
When you’re casting the role of yours truly
Won’t you please hire Ding Dong Magoo?
Ding Dong Magoo
—
Ding Dong Magoo will portray me
Yolay Caprese’s gonna play you
Don’t want Scooter McRib, don’t like the cut of his jib
Just Ding Dong and Yolay for me and you
Ding Dong Magoo

Living Spray
Oh I…. I love it when buildings
come to life
‘cause that’s when you know
—
Someone somewhere
broke into the warehouse
and stole a can of
Living Spray
—
Oh I… know that one day (don’t know when)
I am going to die
But maybe
—
Someone somewhere
can break into the warehouse
and steal a can of
Living Spray
—
It’s not just the bad guys, who want to break the rules
It’s fathers who had their kids too late
and wanna be around to watch ‘em grow up and go off to school
—
So I… wish that buildings
could come to life
‘cause then I would know
—
that someone somewhere
could break into a warehouse
and steal me a can of
Living Spray
—
It was all so easy when I was just a villain
I knew who I was and what I was against.
I’d execute some wild plan born in my twisted brain
I’d get nabbed and thrown in jail, escape and start again.
—
It was all so easy when I was on my own
I knew what I stood for, me and no one else
I made another me to do my evil work
I made a baby me who wasn’t such a jerk
—
I can’t do this anymore
(Why?)
It’s all just too difficult
(Why?)
People are so mean to me
(Why?)
I wish I knew
—
Something changed, I must admit, the world lost its contrast
I tried not doing wrong but couldn’t get it right
And when I did no one believed; they saw me as I’d been.
And who could blame them? Why would they believe I’d changed within?
—
No one ever said it would be hard just being good
And the road to good intentions is mostly paved with doubt
This tiny me has made me want the things I never had
Friends instead of enemies, and good instead of bad.
—
I can’t do this anymore
(Why?)
It’s all just too difficult
(Why?)
People are so mean to me
(Why?)
I wish I knew
—
So now I know I can’t do right in many people’s eyes
Now I know I’ll never be the hero
But still the chance I’ll turn and walk away from all of you
Is closer every day to being zero
—
So now I know I can’t do right in many people’s eyes
Now I know I’ll never be the hero
But still the chance I’ll turn and walk away from all of you
Is closer every day to being zero

Petey’s Blues
Everybody knows
You’re trouble where you go
Everybody knows it’s true
You’re running these streets
Full of schemes and deceit
You’re as mean as mean could be
—
You’re a liar, you’re a cheat,
a bully and a thief
Cat-a-strophic with a Capital C
And everybody sees
You’re as mean as mean could be
How’d you get to be you?
—
Chorus
How’d you get to be, How’d you get to be,
How’d you get to be you?
Did it hurt, was it cruel
When they played you for the fool
Turned your world upside down
Turned your world upside down
—
You’re a stinker In the clinker
In trouble up to your whiskers
You’re as bad as bad could be
There’s a darkness in your heart
Tearing your apart
What’s it gonna take to get free
—
Upend your limitations
Transcend your complications
Embrace your relations
Cause love is an ocean, a mighty might ocean
That will heal what’s broken
—
Chorus
How’d you get to be, How’d you get to be
How’d you get to be you
Are you scared to care,
Go the distance for repair
And turn that frown upside down
Turn that frown upside down
—

Dog Man Unleashed
Verse 1
You can’t hate him
You gotta love him
He doesn’t get it
Yet somehow he’ll get it
When you feed him
—
Show up to the crime
Dog Man is on the case
Ignore all the hostages
(Instead) let’s eat some birthday CAKE
—
Chorus
Feed him lines
Throw him a bone
Remind him that he is a dog alone
and also a dog man
There’s no one like him
Not many like him
Dog Man
—
Verse 2
You can’t lose him
But you’ve gotta search for him
Double Kitty, Brain Fish, Dino Bones
Don’t let their plots take wind
—
Dog man’s got no plan
But help is on the way
Petey better run and hide
From love potions and living spray
—
Bridge
Don’t buy a dead fish
Don’t forget you’re a dog (wink wink)
Only you like a dead fish
You’re a human with a dog head, I think
