When Bowser looks me in the eye
I hate to know how he must die
Someday though I trust anyway
When my today is yesterday
Then my bones too will join the dust
To wonder under wanderlust
Above it all then after all
And so we die this dog and I
On with the show and so it goes
Unlucky to the dog who knows
So let him go and never know
A lucky dog to be and free
Come smile some more awhile before
So let him go immortally
When he has no idea yet
So has no time now for regret
To be like me lucky to be
Existing existentially
A dog like me who though I know
The show is almost over go
Off through the page on stage to grow
Go on if temporarily
A lucky dog to be one who
With one regret gets on with it:
I wish like him I never knew
I hate to know so I forget
