The Cheeky Few - Coyote Lyrics

When you see me on your street, know damn well I ain't no dog
I'm the dusty mongrel coyote and my yappin is my song
Try and run me off if you don't want me around
I'll just double back to hide my tracks and head on into town
I'll just double back to hide my tracks and head on into town

My laughter filled the prairies fore I knew my Aztec name
I colonized the Rockies when them covered wagons came.
If the chickens go a missing it's me they always blame
Be it bugs or berries fish or frogs to me it tastes the same
To me it tastes the same

When you see me on your street, know damn well I ain't no dog
I'm the dusty mongrel coyote and my yappin is my song
Try and run me off if you don't want me around
I'll just double back to hide my tracks and head on into town
I'll just double back to hide my tracks and head on into town

So you brought civ'lization but you knew I'd be there too
When I scamper down your sidewalk buddy I ain't passin through
My eyes flash green in headlights and the confidence shines true
I ran with Montezuma sure's hell I ain't scared of you

When you see me on your street, know damn well I ain't no dog
I'm the dusty mongrel coyote and my yappin is my song
Try and run me off if you don't want me around
I'll just double back to hide my tracks and head on into town
I'll just double back to hide my tracks and head on into town

You can poison, trap or trick me but my population climbs
While I bide my life in eons you're on borrowed time
And while you're suffocating all us wildi ones will survive
Soon the only sound I'll hear will be the wailing of my tribe

When you see me on your street, know damn well I ain't no dog
I'm the dusty mongrel coyote and my yappin is my song
Try and run me off if you don't want me around
I'll just double back to hide my tracks and head on into town
I'll just double back to hide my tracks and head on into town
