Tom Paxton (born Thomas Richard Paxton on October 31, 1937) is an American singer and writer of folk music whose songs have had enduring appeal (and include modern standards such as "The Last Thing on My Mind") known for a cynical, often political edge. In 2009, he received a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award. Paxton was born in Chicago, Illinois, the youngest child of Burton and Esther Paxton. The Paxton family moved to Bristow, Oklahoma in 1948, where Tom grew to adulthood and which he still considers home.

Verse:
G7
quit your bellyaching bub
C
saying you can't afford your grub
F
saying a dollar ain't a dollar no more
G
tell me buddy what's new
G7
can't afford to buy bread no more
C
well this ain't a charity store
F
you say your kid's are hungry too
G
well it's good news for you
Chorus!
F
you can eat dog food
C
you really ought to try it
G
you can fricassee it
C
you can deep fry it
F
flip it on over
C
eat it any way
G
eat along with rover
C
3 times a day
it comes in a bag or a can
just the meal for a working man
if you're down on your luck just now
it'll get you through the day
if you eat in the afternoon
you're gonna feel like baying at the moon
but you're complaining too soon
this is all I gotta say
chorus:
you can eat dog food
you really ought to try it
you can fricassee it
you can deep fry it
flip it on over cook it any way
eat along with rover 3 times a day
find yourself a little vacant lot
clean the garbage from a little spot
light a fire let the coals get hot
ask the neighbors in
you can open up a can or two
make patties like the swell folks do
have yourself a little barbecue
and let the fun begin
chorus
