It was Della and the Dealer and a dog named Jake
and a cat named Kalamazoo
Left the city in a pickup truck
Gonna make some dreams come true
Yeah they rolled out west where the wild sun sets
Andthe coyote bays at the moon
Della and the Dealer and a dog named Jake
And a cat named Kalamazoo
If that cat could talk what tales he'd tell
About Della and the Dealer and the dog as well
But the cat was cool and he never said a mumblin' word
Down Tucson way there's a small cafe
Where they play a little cowboy tune
And the guitar picker was a friend of mine
By the name of Randy Boone
Yeah Randy played her a sweet love song
And Della got a fire in her eyes
The Dealer had a knife
And the dog had a gun
And the cat had a shot of Rye
If that cat could talk what tales he'd tell
About Della and the Dealer and the dog as well
But the cat was cool and he never said a mumblin' word
Yeah the Dealer was a killer he was evil and mean
And he was jealous of the fire in her eyes
He snorted his coke through a century note
And swore that Boone would die
And the stage was set when the lights went out
There was death in Tucson town
Two shadows ran for the bar backdoor
And one stayed on the ground
If that cat could talk what tales he'd tell
About Della and the Dealer and the dog as well
But the cat was cool and he never said a mumblin' word
Two shadows ran from the bar that night
And a dog and a cat ran too
And the tires got hot on the pickup truck
As down the road they flew
It was Della and her lover and a dog named Jake
And a cat named Kalamazoo
Left Tucson in a pickup truck
Gonna make some dreams come true
If that cat could talk what tales he'd tell
About Della and the Dealer and the dog as well
But the cat was cool and he never said a mumblin' word
My other attempt ("I'm telling you, Lloyd, the next time my wife tries that 'hair of the dog' joke again, I am going to go completely insane.") was a reference to "The Shining."
UPDATE: And I'm not the only one.
