Lyrics
Ellie reads all the messages down at the park,
just like scrolling a facebook feed in the dark
Every post and each tree, no sniff ever in vain
Reading all the stories other dogs have left behind
Tail waggin' with wisdom, taking it one scent at a time
She knows more secrets than both you and me combined
Oh Ellie, my Ellie, you were always the queen
You ruled the days and those moments in-between
From morning light up until the dinner call
You were the heartbeat and rhythm of it all
When the dinner bowl felt late, she'd sure let us know
With a ruurr ruurr that would rise and sound that would grow
Not just a bark, but a deep heartfelt plea
This situation is urgent, why can't you see?
Oh Ellie, my Ellie the voice of dinner time
Every sound was perfectly timed
A little drama, a little flair
But her love was always in the air
She'd stretch out long on any warm bed
Eyes half-closed, but mind sharp instead
When the toothbrush stopped — she somehow just knew
Oh Ellie, my Ellie, you were always the queen
You ruled the days and those moments in-between
From morning light up until the dinner call
You were the heartbeat and rhythm of it all
And heaven forbid when the cheese came out
She'd appear like there was never any doubt
No receipt was required, no room for you to plead
All cheese was subject to her strict scrappies need
A little tax, it's simply fair and just right, inspector Ellie says, you shall pay your tax tonight
She'd bake in the sun 'till she was roasting hot
Happy as could be, cooking up on the spot
Then move on over to some shade, sigh deep and slow
Oh Ellie, my Ellie, you were always the queen
You ruled the days and those moments in-between
From morning light up until the dinner call
You were the heartbeat and rhythm of it all
Out on the water, with salt in the air
She'd ride her Takacat without a single care
Beach-bound on a mission, her nose held high
