Cagney came to town on Flanders Road.
Little gray collar, no tags, not a friend to call her own.
Truck came by and clipped her and she fell along the sand,
So it sure was grand to find a helpin' hand.
To the rescue came a friendly car.
Animal Rescue woman drove her to the welcome arms
Of Animal Rescue Fund along the Hamptons sunny sands,
And the friends she made they called her Cagney Anne.
Come along little doggie,
There's a home fire burnin' bright,
With an A and an R and an F and a helpin' hand.
Come along little doggie,
There's a new moon out tonight.
You're a better dog than I am Cagney Anne.
Cagney wore a coat of rosy gold.
There was Wheaten in her eye and there was Ireland in her soul.
She fished the bay and dug the clams along the sunny sands,
And the friends she made they called her Cagney Anne.
Now my Cagney wants to thank the Rescue Fund.
From Sony on the phone to the volunteers
And the keepers of the run.
ARF is an ace of a cat and dog place so
Send you money in.
And tell them you're a friend of Cagney Anne.
