The Lazy Dog in Malvina Reynolds

Chorus:
Well they call it the Lazy Dog,
And they call it the Lazy Dog;
It's the name of a bomb
We use in Vietnam
And they call it the Lazy Dog.

It has ten thousand slivers of steel,
As sharp as a razor's edge;
It's dropped by the loads,
And when it explodes
It cuts human flesh to shreds.

(Chorus)

Well it's some kind of human brain
That's conceived of such a device.
And it's some kind of brain
That gave it a name
So friendly and easy and nice.

(Chorus)

Well American boys are told
They are killing, not men but Reds,
And all that they drop
Is a Lazy Dog
That cuts human flesh to shreds.

Last Chorus:
And they call it the Lazy Dog,
And they call it the Lazy Dog;
It's the name of a bomb
We use in Vietnam
And they call it the Lazy Dog.
