Lyrics

I said a prayer to St. Bernard.
He turns lost into found.
I languish in this prison cell
At the local pound.

A boxer out there needs you.
She's past the puppy stage.
Heart heavy now and lonely,
Abandoned in her cage.
Breeders are one way to go, 
But don't forget adoption.
One thoughtless person's discard
Might be your winning option.

My first home said they loved me,
But not enough, I fear.
When other interests took their time,
They chose to leave me here.

They never taught me manners.
I jump and pull on lead.
Too long, my snout and toenails.
I won't win best-of-breed.

Whenever someone greets me,
I end up being told,
"You're sweet but mighty stinky,
And really just too old."

A boxer out there needs you.
She's past the puppy stage.
Heart heavy now and lonely,
Abandoned in her cage.
Breeders are one way to go, 
But don't forget adoption.
One thoughtless person's discard
Might be your winning option.

And so I wait and hope and pray,
Not giving in just yet.
I've heard rumors of a miracle
They call the Internet.

Find a date, a quote, cheap pills,
Or maybe a stray pup.
I keep hoping that the timing's right
And someone looks me up.

Delete the spam, bypass the porn.
This is your reminder.
Go find a homeless boxer
From the listings on Petfinder.

A boxer out there needs you.
She's past the puppy stage.
Heart heavy now and lonely,
Abandoned in her cage.
Breeders are one way to go, 
But don't forget adoption.
One thoughtless person's discard
Might be your winning option.
