My dog and me
My dog and me
we’ve got a good thing going.
I pay the food bills
and he does the growing.
And when I’m out there working ,
he sleeps the whole day round.
Yet when I go to call him,
he’s nowhere to be found!
He’s suppose to be a guard dog,
but he’s the biggest wimp I’ve met.
When strangers come a-calling
he licks them half to death.
But I love him just the same,
in sleek and rain and hail,
Cause he makes me coo with affection
when he wags his little tail.
My dog and me,
yep, we got a good thing going.
Ah! It’s a dog’s life all right.
