Well, that bold grey tomcat from next door
Came this morning to sit upon our front porch
That's when I knew you were gone, gone away
Gone away from the house

Soyez sage, bonne nuit
Bonne cherie, my good girl
Raise a glass
Raise a cheer for the world's greatest dog

Had to chase a squirrel down the fence line
All by myself, no footsteps or barks behind
Had to curse the air until my choked, sobbed curses
Sounded like barks (Woof woof woof woof)
Fucking squirrels!
Fucking squirrels!

Soyez sage, bonne nuit
Bonne cherie, my good girl
Raise a glass
Raise a cheer for the world's greatest dog

Back in the house to play guitar, loudly
In the corner of the dining room
Where you used to hide
When I would croon, as I croon now for you
Milou
Milou

That's when I knew you would never be gone from my heart
And if I made a promise, a promise to open that heart
And share with those I touched
The things that I learned only from you
That in my greater kindness, you would always live on

So everybody raise a glass and everybody sing along

Soyez sage, bonne nuit
Bonne cherie, my good girl
Raise a glass
Raise a cheer for the world's greatest dog

Soyez sage, bonne nuit
Bonne cherie, my good girl
Raise a glass
Raise a cheer for the world's greatest dog
