*NOTE - This tune always involves an improvised section that (an example is given below... a poor one) ends with Trey saying " Look, the storm's gone." as the Jimmy & Dad dialogue play out leading into the "I don't want a gold fish" lyrics and there is no studio rendition of this tune and the Jimmy/Harpua story is always improvised.

*BEGIN IMPROVISED Monologue and Dialogues*
36
Spoken by Trey [with asides by Fishman]:
37
Once upon a time Far far away from here
38
There, in a small town...
39
a small town...
40
small town...
41
small...
42
And on the outskirts of this town
43
there lived a mean, nasty, furry, ugly hound named Harpua.
44
Harpua roamed the outskirts of the town every day and he'd walk around looking for a little action.
45
So of course this day was no different from any other day and here we start the story and we see Harpua walking around on the outskirts of town near the forest kind of at the edge of the forest and he's walking in toward town...
46
Harpua walked toward the town...
47
innocently...
48
And meanwhile in the town...
49
in a whole different part of the town
50
there lived a young boy all alone in a suburban neighborhood
51
and every day he'd sit in his room
52
and sit on his little couch [AND SMOKE POT!]...
53
he'd sit on his little couch and
54
he'd listen to his stereo...
55
and he'd lay back and
56
he'd look down next to him and
57
he'd pet his favorite little [DOG!]
58
furry little...
59
oh, he loved his little...
60
furry...
61
thing that he pet every day while he listened to his stereo
62
[while sitting on the couch]
63
he'd pet his furry [thing on the couch] his furry...
64
And he looked down and he said
65
"I love to pet you, my little furry...
66
thing that I ...
67
I love you so much that I decided to name you
68
this name that I love and so I named you...
69
I love you so...
70
that's why...
71
that's why I pet you every day...
72
that's why I named you...
73
that's why when I first got you and
74
I knew how much I loved you...
75
I decided that I'd give you the name of...
76
the moniker of...
77
I'd call you...
78
your name is...
79
I DECIDED THAT YOUR NAME WOULD HAVE TO BE...
80
I'D CALL YOU...
81
YOUR GOING TO BE CALLED...
82
I THINK YOUR NAME...
83
I CALL YOU...
84
YOU'D GO AS... AAAAAAAAGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!
85
POSTER NUTBAG!!!!!!!!
86
Poster Nutbag sat on the couch next to Jimmy...
87
Poster Nutbag, the furry little kitty-cat Jimmy's pet sat next to Jimmy and he looked up at Jimmy...
88
and on this particular day Poster Nutbag decided to go for a little walk so Poster Nutbag got up and walked toward the door and Jimmy went to the door and he opened up the door and Poster Nutbag went outside and he started walking across the yard..
89
and he walk onto the sidewalk and he started walking innocently down the street and he walked down the street and suddenly he found himself wandering...
90
into a new part of town that he'd never been to...
91
Let me take you to...FUNKYTOWN
92
Let me take you to...FUNKYTOWN
93
Let me take you to...FUNKYTOWN
94
Let me take you to...FUNKYTOWN
95
And when he got there he was walking along and suddenly he rounded a corner and in front of him he saw...
96
he saw Harpua...
97
Harpua, the ugly dog from the beginning of the story...
98
and they looked at each other...
99
tension filled the air...
100
there was going to be a nasty fight...
101
Harpua saw Poster Nutbag and began to growl and let a hungry drop of saliva fall onto the floor...
102
Poster Nutbag coiled his body into a deadly arch...
103
the fight was about to begin...
104
ARGAAAAAAAA!
105
Look, the storm's gone...Dad [Mike]:
106
Jimmy...
107
Jimmy [Fish]:
108
Yes, Dad
109
D: Jimmy, I have some bad news...
110
J: What might that be...Dad?
111
D: It's about your cat, Poster...
112
J: You wouldn't be talking about Poster Nutbag, now would you?
113

115
How about a goldfish? I don't want a goldfish

A dog A dog
124
There's a dog in the station
125
With an ugly mutation
126
And it needs lubrication each day
127
There's a dog in the station
128
Contemplating rotation
129
As a form of recreation and play
130
A dog
131
There's a dog in the station
132
With a bad reputation
133
It's a sign of the nation's decay
134
But the dog in the station
135
Doesn't need a vacation
136
As the people rush by dressed in gray
137
A DOG
138
A DOG
139
A DOG!!
