Dearly missed by Nealann Skari

A MEMORIUM FOR DRAKE (Sung to “Hound Dog”)

CHORUS:
Drake ain’t nothin’ but a Greyhound, he’s smiling all the time.
He ain’t nothin’ but a Greyhound, he sleeps most all the time.
Drake used to be a racer, but now he’s a pet of mine.

They said he was high speed when he was on the track,
They say he was high stakes, but that was in the past,
Drake used to be a racer, but now he’s a pet of mine.

CHORUS:

He lives in my house now, he’s got no muzzle on his nose.
Drake has three cats now – they keep him on his toes,
Drake used to be a racer, but now he’s a pet of mine.

CHORUS:

He’s got his own dog bed, no more crate for him,
He’s got his own dog door, he goes out on his whim.
Drake used to be a racer, but now he’s a pet of mine.

CHORUS:

Drake is older and ill now, and I have to let him go.
We’ve traveled many miles I now have to go alone.
But I’ll see him again – he’s waiting at the Bridge.
Cuz Drake used to be a racer, then he was a pet of mine.
