His Name Is Kevin
For the dog who runs this house
Press play to hear this song.
Why this song was made
Maya writes a song about her rescue dog Kevin and his campaign against the vacuum cleaner. It is a gift for the partner who insisted a dog would make their lives calmer.
Read the lyrics
[Verse 1]
You said a dog would help us take a calmer view of life,
Now we're negotiating sausage treaties every night.
He stole a whole baguette and made a getaway through town,
The local bakery knows his name and asks us how he's doing now.
[Chorus]
His name is Kevin, he's the mayor of this street,
A highly paid consultant in whatever we might eat.
He fears the mighty vacuum but he doesn't fear the law,
And every little part of us belongs to those four paws.
[Verse 2]
He moved my favourite cushion to his executive suite,
Which used to be our sofa till our diplomatic defeat.
The postman is his nemesis, the window is his stage,
He's published forty-seven barks expressing quite specific rage.
[Bridge]
But when your shift runs late and all the kitchen lights are low,
He settles by the doorway like there's something that he knows.
You turn the key; his whole ridiculous body starts to sway,
No creature ever loved somebody in a more excessive way.
[Chorus]
His name is Kevin, he's the mayor of this street,
A highly paid consultant in whatever we might eat.
He fears the mighty vacuum but he doesn't fear the law,
And every little part of us belongs to those four paws.
