Thanks so much for posting this, had forgotten this fine fine song which I'd liked so much by VJ, along with "See the World".

[lotuspods]

I saw them at Chalk Farm Roundhouse, London in 1968 - they were great!

[mpurves98]

I have been looking for this song _forever_

(I am that old). It's called "Never met a dog" and if you (who ever posted it, thank you!) would have mentioned that I might have found it earlier ...

[mpurves98]

hate to reply to myself, but: I can't find find the lyric online. If anybody has them please let me know.

@mpurves98

Borrowed pennies for a leek, yeah,

And the dustman made me freakout,

Like a hippie with a jewel in his brain.

Baby, things were lookin' bleak,

I could hardly dare to speak,

As I clung on underneath the speeding train.

So I mumbled sour speech,

As I changed my name to Leech,

And my parasites kept driving me insane.

[umpire63]

As the wolves scratched down my door, I trapped one by the jaw, And I asked him (quite politely) for his name. Where are all my friends? Now I'm rollin' up my dog-ends, Never met a dog that took to me! He said, "Son if you'll release me, I could rap a bit more freely." Like an imbecile, I let him in again. He said, "Boy, the situation Is a touch of constipation In your purse causin' a tumor on my brain."

[umpire63]

I said, Man, I aint a doctor, But Im sure if youd adopt a New religion, it would Fix up your complaint. Where are all my friends? Now I'm rollin' up my dog-ends, Never met a dog that took to me! So he shoots me in the neck, And he tells me he'll be back, Loss of earnings is a felony I'll claim. But as soon as I heal up, And I finish with this bitter cup, And I manage to get to my feet again,

[umpire63]

Tell you what I'll do...

I'll get on with my profession,

Teach wild dogs a lesson,

Cut those angry tumors off their angry brains.

Where are all my friends?

Now I'm rollin' up my dog-ends,

Never met a dog that took to me!

[JoeVinegar2]

@umpire63 Just saw that you wrote down all lyrics of never met a dog below the vid. THANKS!!! Do you also have the lyrics of See the world thruogh my eyes?

My DAD seen V.J. in the 70s. Said they where GREAT. He did say ELKIE was amazing. Robert never broke sweat.

[canadianroot]

Saw him twice in Toronto. Both times right on the money. He was/is one of my all-time favourites. Thru his version of Sailin Shoes/Sneaking Sally thru the Alley, I found Little Feat.

If anyone has a version of the above, i'll pay a king's ransom for the uploading of same.

[1oldgit]

This guy on here must have the versions you seek....

ELKIE ROCKED!!!!!

[superate]

Thank You for this! had this record in 74. I always hoped to meet Robert Palmer and tell him how much this song blew me away. Not to be in this life.

[fsposeto]

I love "Never met a Dog" can't find vinyl....help! One of the greatest that goes un-noticed!!!!!!

[Viletshadow]

Wow, was someone digging for fossils? lol. Great stuff

[mpurves98]

watch the interview with Elkie. I hope I'm going to be in that shape 10 years from now.

Fossils? Geez, grow up. I know people in their 80s who are very much alive.
