- What Would You Say LyricsUp and down the puppies' hair
Fleas and ticks jump everywhere
'Cause of original sin
Down the hill fell Jack and Jill
And you came tumbling after
'Cause of original sin
Rip away the tears
Drink a hope to happy years
And you may find
A lifetime's passed you by
What would you say
Don't drop the big one
If you a monkey on a string
Don't cut my lifeline
If you a doggie on a chain
Don't bite the mailman
What would you say
I was there when the bear
ate his head, thought it was a candy
Everyone goes in the end
Knock knock on the door
Who's it for, there's nobody in here
Look in the mirror my friend
I don't understand at best
And cannot speak for all the rest
In the morning rise
A lifetime's passed me by
What would you say
Don't drop the big one
If you a monkey on a string
Don't cut my lifeline
If you a doggie on a chain
Don't bite the mailman
What would you say
Every dog has its day every day has its way
Of being forgotten -
Mom it's my birthday
What would you say
Fleas and ticks jump everywhere
'Cause of original sin
Down the hill fell Jack and Jill
And you came tumbling after
'Cause of original sin
Rip away the tears
Drink a hope to happy years
And you may find
A lifetime's passed you by
What would you say
Don't drop the big one
If you a monkey on a string
Don't cut my lifeline
If you a doggie on a chain
Don't bite the mailman
What would you say
I was there when the bear
ate his head, thought it was a candy
Everyone goes in the end
Who's it for, there's nobody in here
Look in the mirror my friend
I don't understand at best
And cannot speak for all the rest
In the morning rise
A lifetime's passed me by
What would you say
Don't drop the big one
If you a monkey on a string
Don't cut my lifeline
If you a doggie on a chain
Don't bite the mailman
What would you say
Every dog has its day every day has its way
Of being forgotten -
Mom it's my birthday
What would you say

When we think about what all of this might truly mean, the song 'What Would You Say' by the Dave Matthews Band meditates on the unpredictability of life and the certainty of death. The lyrics metaphorically employ 'monkey on a string' and 'dog on a chain' to express a feeling of being controlled or restricted by outside forces, while at the same time pointing out the transitory quality of time and the need to live in the now. What Would You Say lyrics primarily highlight through the feelings of reflection, angst, nostalgia, joy, and despair. In contrast, the song reiterates the necessity for the passage of time, existential reflection, and communication and misunderstanding. The lyrics present some playful and abstract ideas that could require adult supervision, but they are not offensive in any way, nor do they contain violence or adult themes. The allusion to original sin and issues of existence may be considered as subjects for the mature audience, yet they are dealt with in a witty way appropriate for the older kids.
