From the recording Little Buffalo
Lyrics
Life is Sad :
poor little kitty stuck in a tree
crying all night long in misery
I got a big long stick to help kitty down
he fell a long, long way & made a bad, bad sound
life is sad life is hard
all over the world
and in your own back yard
cute little puppy outside my door
I think I fed it last week, now it’s back for more
I heard the neighbors all saying that dog’s a drag
I found a cute little puppy in a Hefty bag
life is sad life is hard
all over the world
and in your own back yard
sweet little baby in a backyard swing
left alone crying, that’s a bad, bad thing
mom and papa don’t care ‘cause theyv’e got no sense
hey, look at that baby flying over that fence
life is sad life is hard
all over the world
and in your own back yard
