Dialogue:
"Ladies and gentlemen,"

HERE COMES THAT POODLE DOG! 
BIG AS A BLIMP WITH A RHINESTONE COLLAR 
SNAPPIN' OFF THE TREES 
LIKE THEY WAS BONSAI'D ORNAMENTS ON A 
DRY-WOBBLE LANDSCAPE 
KEEP IT AWAY! DON'T LET THE POODLE BITE ME! 
WE CAN'T LET IT REPRODUCE! OH! 
SOMEBODY GET OUT THE PANTS!

The National Guard has formed up at the base 
of the mountain 
And is attempting to lure the enormous poodle 
towards the cave 
Where they hope to destroy it with napalm 
A thousand of the troopers are now lined up 
and are calling to the monster... 
Here Fido 
Here Fido 
Here Fido 

The solo is just in "D#" if you're a Zappa fan you'll get a down easily.

GOT A GREAT BIG SLIMEY THING 
GOT A GREAT BIG HEAVY THING 
GOT A GREAT BIG POODLE THING 
GOT A GREAT BIG HAIRY THING 

C'mon! Everybody! Let's go! 
Get the distilled water! Get the canned goods! 
Get the toilet paper! You know we need it!
