From out of the darkness and into the light,
Has someone heard me crying all night ?
I'm out of my cage and into a van,
Where am I going with this nice young man ?
Maybe I'm going to a better place,
Somewhere to run at my own slow pace.

"Don't worry old man, you won't feel a thing".
My heart starts to sour like a bird on a wing.
He's taking me from this dark, dismal place
So I plant a big kiss right onto his face.
I'm happy, so happy, no more can I see
That cold, dirty kennel all wet with wee.

We come to a halt, I jump out by his side
My heart is bursting with happiness and pride.
The nice lady vet says "hold him still"
God, why am I feeling so cold and ill ?
I'm shaking and frightened as I gaze in his eyes,
This nice young man has told me lies !

He says "it won't hurt, you'll just go to sleep"
Then why is he too, starting to weep ?
No, stop ! I can't do this, I must take him home,
To a bed nice and warm where he isn't alone.
I'll make my excuses when I get to work
I'll say he escaped, I feel like a jerk.

Come here my old man, you're all wet and mucky
I'll wash you, then feed you and then call you LUCKY !
