Lyrics:
The dogs, they had a meeting.
They came from near and far.
And some came in by taxi
And some came in by car.
They went into the meetinghouse
And signed the visitor's book
And each one hung his asshole
Upon the nearest hook.
One dog was not invited
Which caus-ed him great ire.
He stood outside the meetinghouse
And boldly shouted, "fire!"
The dogs got all excited
They didn't stop to look
And each one grabbed an asshole
From off the nearest hook.
Now this then is my story
And it is very sore
To wear some other's asshole
You've never worn before
And that is why when dogs meet
On land or sea or shore
Each sniffs the other's asshole
In hopes it is his own.
"The Dog's Meeting", also known as "The Doggie's Meeting",<br> "The Dog's Convention" or "The Dogs They Had a Party" is a<br> scatological tall tale. It is a parody on the hymn tune<br> "The Church's One Foundation", known as "Aurelia", which<br> was composed by S. J. Stone in 1866.<br> It is sometimes sung to the Swedish folk tune "Haf trones lampa färdig"<br> which is often used for the hymn "Rejoice, Rejoice, Believers" written<br> by Laurentius Laurenti in 1700.<br> It is known in Australia, Great Britain and the United States.<br> It was first published in 1928 in an under-the-counter book<br> Poems, Ballads and Parodies.<br> It was also printed in<br> Randolph and Legman's Roll Me in Your Arms: "Unprintable"<br> Ozark Folksongs and Folklore (1992),<br> Meredith and Anderson's Folk Songs of Australia (1968) and<br> Morgan's Why Was He Born So Beautiful and Other Rugby Songs (1967, 1985).<br>
