Lyrics

HE LIKES TO BARK
(J. Sprout)

Everybody knows
Who I'm talkin' 'bout.
He's got a bushy bushy tail.
Got a long wet snout.

I got him as a puppy.
Tried to train him well
But all he wants to do
Is run around and yell.

CHORUS: He likes to bark.
He likes to bark.

He'll sit and lie down
If I give him a bone
But he won't stay quiet.
Got a mind of his own.

Sometimes he runs away.
But he always comes back.
So he can howl at the moon
With the rest of the pack.

CHORUS

He tears up the rug.
He chews on my shirt.
He digs in the garden.
Rolls in the dirt.

He tugs on his leash.
He chases after squirrels.
He tinkles on the bushes
To impress the girls.

CHORUS

Now I love my doggie.
He loves me too.
But everybody says,
"He belongs in the zoo!"

CHORUS

When he sleeps in my room
He snores so loud.
He barks in his sleep.
He's a one dog crowd.

So I put him out to wee wee
When I go to bed.
But he'd rather
Wake up the neighbors instead.

CHORUS
