Any news on his dad’s dog
I took a text from Tim today
And saw it sadly said,
“It’s hard for me to say to you
But Ken Dodd's dad’s dog’s dead”.
I tried to text him back again
And not delete the thread
But clumsily I lost his text
Of “Ken Dodd’s dad’s dog’s dead”.
I put Sky News on to confirm
And saw the strapline read,
“Breaking news from Knotty Ash –
Ken Dodd's dad’s dog’s dead”.
And when I bought a Daily Star
It seemed from' A to Z
That all the paper had to say
Was Ken Dodd's dad’s dog’s dead.
This tortuous tongue-twister
Was doing in my head
But there’s no way I could forget
“Ken Dodd's dad’s dog’s dead”.
The flags half mast on Lime Street;
The city’s painted red,
And blue, of course, for Everton
Cos Ken Dodd's dad’s dog’s dead.
Did Ken Dodds dad’s dog die today?
His kennel’s now a shed
He’ll never need his old dog lead
Cos Ken Dodd's dad’s dog’s dead.
Yes, Doddy’s dad’s dog dud alright
His fleas to Jesus fled
The mangy hound has gone to ground
Cos Ken Dodd’s dad’s dog’s dead.
