    VERSE 1

    A pickup truck had the damndest luck,
    When parked at Walmart one day.
    A feisty pet--as if on a bet,
    Would get that truck underway.

    Away the vehicle rolls, it seems,
    Confounding someone's wildest dreams.
    The driver barks, but he never parks,
    Until two cars he creams.

    CHORUS

    What the devil is the deal,
    When the tires start to squeal?
    Did a puppy pop the clutch?
    Or is that a little much?

    Is a Boxer or a Lab,
    Sitting up within the cab?
    Pooches will not heel,
    When they grab the wheel,
    Of a truck they want to steal.

    VERSE 2

    The antsy pup had a good crackup,
    But how is not understood.
    He swung his lead as he picked up speed.
    His brakes were not any good.

    Cops' eyes were wide when they had descried,
    The pup had bounced from side to side.
    He took control and began to roll,
    Then set about his ride.

    CHORUS
