about

A song about notable San Francisco street dogs Bummer & Lazarus written by Jenny's Midnight Screamatorium.

lyrics

Picture a land of trolley cars
Long before science went too far
Two friends who can't be beat (that's right)
Real San Francisco treat (mm mmm)

Whether the spring or the fall, he was the belle of the ball
He went by Bummer, a hell of a dog
And at the drop of a hat, he'd kill a bucket of rats
He had a nose, I gotta tell ya, it'd cut through the fog

And with a bum of a leg, along did Lazarus beg
It was a friendship beyond compare
For a couple of strays, life sure was gay
We're singing their song to this day

Kings of the land of trolley cars
Two dogs with but a single bark
True as the bright, yellow sun (Bummer, Bummer)
Two tails that wagged as one (and Lazarus)

Kings of the land of trolley cars
Two dogs with but a single bark
Bummer and Lazarus may be gone, but
Forever they'll live in our hearts
Bark!
