Tina:
Happiness hit her
Like a train on a tra-a-ack


Mercedes:
Coming towards her,

Stuck, still no turning ba-a-ack

Tina:

She hid around corners
And she hid under beds


Mercedes:
She killed it with kisses
And from it she fled


Tina:
With every bubble,

She sank with a drink

Mercedes:

And washed it away down the kitchen sink

Tina:

The dog days are over
The dog days are done
The horses are comin'

So you better run

Mercedes and Tina with New Directions:

Run fast for your mother,

Mercedes and Tina

Run fast for your father

Mercedes and Tina with New Directions:

Run for your children;

Mercedes and Tina

for your sisters and brothers

Mercedes and Tina with New Directions:

Leave all your love and your longing behind

Mercedes and Tina

You can't carry it with you, if you want to survive.

Mercedes and Tina with New Directions:

The dog days are over

Mercedes and Tina

The dog days are done

Mercedes and Tina with New Directions:

Can you hear the horses
'Cause here they come


Tina:
And I never wanted
anything from you

Except everything you had
And what was left after that too
Oh


Tina and Mercedes with New Directions:
Happiness hit her like a bullet in the back

Struck from a great height
By someone who should know better than that
The dog days are over

The dog days are done
Can you hear the horses
'Cause here they come


Mercedes and Tina with New Directions:
Run fast for your mother, run fast for your father

Run for your children; for your sisters and brothers
Leave all your love and your longing behind
You can't carry it with you, if you want to survive.

The dog days are over

The dog days are done
Can you hear the horses
'Cause here they come

The dog days are over

The dog days are done (Mercedes and Tina: Here they come!)
The horses are comin'
So you'd better run
The dog days and over
The dog days are done (Mercedes and Tina: Here they come!)

The horses are comin',
So you'd better run
