This is my first attempt at tabbing only because I couldn't find the tabs on line for this song
so I attempted to figure them out myself
The rhythm is a sort of reggae funk
Listen to the song
 This is the  (Tab Line) after the chords

[Verse 1]

As I was walking home the other night

C D

walking past the alley with the flash of the scarlet neon light

A rolls royce pulled up to me a woman said

C D

sonny have you seem a silver poodle with a ribbon on his head

C Bm

I thought to myself man shes joking

In this part of town

A poodle could wind up at Burger King

But she looked serious and so I

G Bm

Said that I thought that I might have

Em C

Cuz I was delirious in dire need

G Bm

of any old bills that she might have

[Verse 2]

She opened the door and said to come in

C D

offered me a drink and some funny looking powder from her stash

I told her no thanks my mother told me

C D

Don't accept a thing from a stranger unless its check or cash

C Bm

She said who are you not to surrender

C Bm

A poor kid like you aught to be thankful just being alive

C G Bm

Then she laid down in the back seat and pulled me into her body heat

Em C

And I thought man this is my lucky day

G Bm Em

That was until I thought I heard her say..

[Chorus 1]

Funk Funky Funky poodle

C D

Funky poodle ----Yea

[Verse 3]

After a while she looked up in a state of shock

C D

Whispered in my ear that she was sorry about the length of my stay

I told her I wasn't going anywhere

C D

Not at least until you compensate for this unjust depravity

C Bm

What happened here its hard to remember

The next thing I knew

I lay face down in the street all alone

C G

and I hear the pitter pat of little feet

Bm Em

that make their way right over me

C G

The door closed, I looked, they sped away

Bm Em

She was sitting in the backseat with a little gray -

[Chorus 2]

Funky Funky Funky poodle

C D

Funky poodle ----Yea

Funky Funky Funky poodle
