Has anybody seen A dog dyed dark green? About two inches tall With a strawberry blonde fall Sunglasses and a bonnet And designer jeans with appliques on it? The dog that brought me so much joy Left me wallowing in pain Quiche Lorraine I'll show her! Do you see the key in my hand? I'm gonna throw it in the lake Yea, you've been so rotten to me You take the cake I'm just gonna lock the door to your kennel And just you try and come back to me Yeah, you'll see (Quiche, Quiche Lorraine) You mangy mutt (Quiche, Quiche Lorraine) (Quiche Quiche Lorraine) I'm talking about Quiche!
