Nothing But A New Toy

Rock star Asa is at it again.  This time he surprised fans at a local pet supply store by performing right there in the middle of the aisle his new song, “Nothin’ But A New Toy.”  Once again I give my sincerest apologies to fans of the original song by Poison, “Nothin’ But A Good Time.”

Now listen,

Not a treat, I haven’t hiked in weeks

I can barely get this toy to squeak.

Saturday morn I’d like to run and play

But right now all Dad does is sleep.

I’m always walkin’, fetchin’ every day

Gotta get away from the same old, same old

I need a chance just to squeak and play

If you can hear me bark, this is what I’d say

Don’t need nothin’ but a new toy

With a squeak I can’t resist

Ain’t looking for nothin’ but a new toy

And it don’t squeak better than this.

So I spend Mom’s money on kibble and treats

But that doesn’t mean I don’t want somethin’ that squeaks.

I’m real sorry about the shape my toys are in

I just like to chew them every now and then.

I’m always walkin’, fetchin’ every day

Gotta get away from the same old, same old

I need a chance just to squeak and play

If you can hear me bark, this is what I’d say

Don’t need nothin’ but a new toy

With a squeak I can’t resist

Ain’t looking for nothin’ but a new toy

And it don’t squeak better than this.

You see I raise a paw to to all of us

Who are chewin’ old toys every day.

If wantin’ a new toy is such a crime

Then dog catcher put me away,

Here’s to ya!

Don’t need nothin’ but a new toy

With a squeak I can’t resist

Ain’t looking for nothin’ but a new toy

And it don’t squeak better than this!

I’d like to thank Bret Michaels of Poison for letting me borrow his hat for today’s performance.

And for those of you who wonder what’s under Bret’s hat, well here’s a peek.
