Hey Jake
dog
[info]drspecial
This song is also from the musical In Dog's Country. Mal, the bad dog (played by Ruth Keating of The Malarkies), tries to convince Jake, the good dog (Billy D) to attack the squirrel Ada, on whom Jake has a crush. Mal explains that dogs shouldn't love squirrels; instead, they should hunt them. Jake's confusion gets pretty emotional...

Hey Jake

Mal:	Hey Jake, don't get it wrong
	Your attraction, that’s not love 
	You’re a hunter, and squirrels are meant to be caught
	Don’t give a thought to how she’ll suffer

Jake:	OK, maybe you're right; it's not true puppy love 
	Maybe this craving's for the hunt instead 
 
Mal:	Yes Jake, you are a dog
	Who lives and eats and breathes 
	You should be hunting like a real live dog
	Do you dare to fetch your meal rare? 

Jake:	Hey little squirrel look out here I come
	I think I got a deep down hunger for my teeth in yer bones 
        I’m coming to your home

        You’re so beautifully fluffy and seeing you’s making me jones  
        I can’t tell if it’s blood or it’s love that’s making me crazy 
        You're so fluffy...
