Dead Dog Rover
Melody – I’m Looking Over a Four Leaf Clover
By Hank, Stu, Dave, & Hank (1977)

I’m looking over
My dead dog Rover
That I over ran with the mower
One leg is missing
The other is gone
The third leg is scattered
All over the lawn
There’s no use explaining
The one remaining
It’s spinning on the carport floor
I’m looking over
My dead dog Rover
That I ran over (Hey!)
That I ran over (Hey!)
That I ran over with the mower!
(Alternative verse:)
I’m looking over
My minced dog Rover
That I ran over with the mower
He’s no longer eating
He no longer barks
Hit his collar with the blade
And then we saw sparks
No there’s no use explaining
There’s nothing remaining
He’s scattered on the lawn, you see
I ran over
My dead dog Rover
And sent him to eternity
