Melissa has a 3-legged dog, and that's not all!

everyone knows Melissa
she carries the moon into the yard
she puts blackberries in a bowl
she put Damo Suzuki on the floor

Melissa has a 3-legged dog, and she plays it
everyone knows all the words...

she holds her breath, a quiet mind
she sold the rights, no time
she committed the evocation to the sunrise
yeah

Melissa has a 3-legged dog, with a funnel head
everyone throws peanuts!

she has the most amazing vision
she can see into outer-space
she can motivate aliens
and bring them back to your place

she holds her breath, a quiet mind
she sold the rights, no time
she committed the evocation to the sunrise
yeah

a sad convention of thieves without anything to steal
not that it usually stops them
but lately they've begun to feel
that life isn't worth a tuppence
and that's just such a shame
all the best things have been stolen!
it's a dilemma for a thief...

they foiled the cameras
they foiled the police
they are not afraid of you
because they have everything

except... Melissa, has a 3-legged dog!

she carries the furniture to the patio
she delivers 3 chairs and a radio
she manages 3 bands and her daddy-o
she's relentless in the euro-zone
Turkish with a peppercorn
a strongman you would set upon
leaving messages on the answer phone

Melissa has a 3-legged dog, and that's not all

she found it very hard to sleep one night
the greenhouse wasn't humming
there were lights in the sky
and a knock at the door
and a little dog sat there strumming

Melissa has a 3-legged dog, and they started talking
"I thought you was working"
"no, that ended for me some time ago"
"well, it's really great to see you!
I would have called but I'm down a leg"
"do you mind if I come in?"
"not at all, bring your guitar"
"who's your friend with the night vision?"

"oh her, that's... "
