Sitting in a living room in a condo

Gazmo's on the rug with little Cassy-O

Gazmo's gettin nervous

Cassy wants to sample the dog. 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...



There's a new age family out in North Carolina

A dog named Jamaica, a daughter named China

A son who plays in a band called Sample the Dog

Third world music on the stereo

Dust on the keys of the piano

& China's in the kitchen tryin to 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
