Rottweiler Blues — Warren Zevon

written by Warren Zevon and Carl Hiaasen 1995 Zevon Music BMI

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
