It took me a while to get used to the slow smoky style of this number. Iris Tramm's first song. It's now one of my favorites. Iris has a dog, a German shepherd named Meadows, who is an important character in the story. She sings to him about her disillusionment with men, hence the refrain " That's why I live with my dog." The song hints that nevertheless falling for Norman Paperman. At Coconut Grove Iris sang to an amazingly lifelike puppet dog, whitch all but upstaged her, and won the audience affection all though the evening.

Shelia says the heart is just a muscle
3
Shelia says the heart is cooled by time
4
Hiding out for years down in these trade winds
5
In the land of coconuts and limes

Chorus:
7
I've played this game for too long
8
My life's just one same old song
9
Now marooned for a time on this island
10
I go into and out of the fog
11
And that's why I live with my dog

Instrumental Bridge
13
Men oh, men oh, oh men I've known to many
14
Deceivers cloaked in clumsy vanity
15
What men lack in love and understanding
16
They make up in stupidity
17
Chorus:
18
But now and then one comes along
19
And lights up my world like a song
20
I am tempted to unleash my interest
21
Yet I put it to you man's best friend
22
There's just one sad old way it can end
23
Bridge:
24
We have our faults
25
But men have only two
26
All that they say
27
All that they do
28
You're a joy and a friend and a guardian
29
Never bored with my sad monologue
30
You're better off with a dog
