Lyrics[]
[ITCHY]
Who's the dope the Top Dog relies on
There to throw them a bone?
[KILLER]
Whose shaggy shoulders are what he cries on
When he's whimperin' alone?
[ITCHY]
What's the gripe we can fraternize on
Like two bumps on two logs
[BOTH]
Sidekicks like us get treated like dogs
We're sidekicks, sidekicks
We're not the kibble, we're only the bits
Sidekicks, sidekicks
We're not the peach but the pits
Sidekicks, sidekicks
Always the bridesmaid but never the bride
Sidekicks, sidekicks
We're getting kicked to the side
[KILLER]
Though I didn't pick it, I'm Jiminy Cricket
[ITCHY]
It's no cause to gloat-o, but I become Toto
[KILLER] Like Brutus to Caesar
[ITCHY] Or Jekyll to Hyde
[BOTH]
We're being kicked to the side
[KILLER]
I move it upward, and you're a wiener
How'd we end up a team?
[ITCHY]
I'm Super-Pup, and you're Mister Meaner
Still we got the same dream
[BOTH]
To be a couple of leading canines
Like this town's never known
Each with a sidekick dog of our own
We're sidekicks, sidekicks
We're not the chorus but simply a verse
Sidekicks, sidekicks
Together under a curse
Sidekicks, sidekicks
[ITCHY]
We need a doctor!
[KILLER]
No, make that a nurse!
[BOTH]
Sidekicks, sidekicks
Chained up for better or worse
[ITCHY]
It's you and me, brother
[KILLER]
We're stuck with each other
[ITCHY]
Let's show 'em we'll not quite surrender the spotlight
[KILLER]
So what are you saying?
[ITCHY]
I'm no Ed McMahon
[KILLER]
I will play it safer
And be his Paul Shaffer
[ITCHY]
Like Benji and Lassie
[BOTH]
We'll bark out with pride
No more being sidekicks
We won't be denied gigs
No more being kicked to the side
