You came to me with all the force of a feather duster
Do you recall how you got your bell rung?
Did you forget you were my pet, till you got loose?
Now you're on your own, struttin' on the freeway.

And I've wept at the thought of your big break.

You're in the back of a Cadillac with the dog catcher.
When you were rife with fleas, do you remember how it stung?
And I weep when I sing about you for my big break
My big break
It's my big break
It's my big break.

A bigger bowl, a better bone is all you wanted.
I'm still postin' bills, boy won't you come home?

And I've wept at the thought of your big break
It's your big break
It's your big break
You're big break.
