Doggo

Lyrics: Robert Hunter
Music: Bill Payne

Listed on ASCAP as a song with lyrics by Robert Hunter and music by Bill Payne. Thanks to John Prehn for pointing me to the recording of Bill Payne playing it on 16 May 2014. The lyrics are very hard to make out. Below is all I can decipher after listening that and two other recordings - any help gratefully received.

[too late]
[too late]
[too late]
[too late]

I'm a dog, you're a dog
Everybody's doggo
Dirty old man
Trying to steal my yo-yo

Make me a doggo
I steal it back again
Maybe so, I don't know
Five will get you ten

It's too late [too late]
Sweetheart [Tilly]
It's too late [too late]
Darling [Billy]
It's too late [too late]
Don't be silly
Everybody knows the store is closed (note 1)

Climb aboard, climb aboard
Jump into the choo-choo
Dirty old man, trying to milk my voodoo
[Shoot a man down], only get ice-cream

Make me a doggo
I'll take it back again
Ask me now, right now
Might be a dream

It's too late [too late]
Good time Willy
It's too late [too late]
[Cooperdilly]
It's too late [too late]
Willy-nilly
Everybody knows the store is closed

[?]
Dirty old man, trying to stir my [cocoa]

So sick I think I'm dying
Dirty old man he [pissed on my tie]
Let it go, I broke down inside

It's too late [too late]
Old man chingo
It's too late [too late]
Chingo, chingo
It's too late [too late]
That's how the wind blows
Everybody knows the store is closed

I'm a dog, you're a dog
Everybody's doggo
Dirty old man
Trying to steal my yo-yo

Make me a doggo
I steal it back again
Maybe so, I don't know
Five will get you ten, get you ten

It's too late [too late]
Sweetheart ?v It's too late [too late]
Diamond lilyv It's too late [too late]
Don't be silly
Everybody knows the store is closed

It's too late [too late]
It's too late [too late]
It's too late [too late]
Everybody knows, everybody knows, everybody knows
Notes
(1) might be "Everybody knows this door is closed"
