Story Behind The Song
It struck me as ironic that we say a person works like a dog, when if we look at many a dog's life, they spend most of their time eating, sleeping. or playing. Hmmmmmmm ??

Lyrics
IF ONLY I COULD WORK LIKE A DOG
Chorus
IF ONLY COULD WORK LIKE A DOG
I'D SLEEP AND PLAY ALL DAY
- GET MY DINNER MADE
IF ONLY I COULD WORK LIKE A DOG
I'D HAVE THE RULE OF THE ROOST,
COMMAND OF THE COUCH
I'D BARK IF I HAD SOMETHING TO SAY
IF I COULD WORK LIKE A DOG
1st Vs
9 TO 5 IS MORE LIKE 9 TO 9
I'D LOVE TO DO NOTHIN' IF I COULD FIND THE TIME
NO TIME TO WASTE- GOT TO GET THINGS DONE
IF I GET TO EAT LUNCH, WELL THEN I EAT ON THE RUN
RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC SEEMS TO LAST ALL DAY
WHEN I GET WHERE I'M GOING I'M ALWAYS ONE HOUR LATE
Repeat Chorus
2nd Vs.
9 TO 5 IS MORE LIKE 9 TO 9
JUMP OUT OF BED LET'S DO IT ONE MORE TIME
USELESS TALK, CLAPTRAP, CONTRAPTIONS ALL AROUND
I'M GONNA FIND ME A PLACE WHERE THIS OLD DOG JUST CAN'T BE FOUND
IF I HAD MY WAY I'D STAY AT HOME ALL DAY
SNIFF AROUND, FIND SOME SHADE AND DREAM AWAY
IF ONLY I COULD WORK LIKE A DOG
I'D STAY RIGHT HERE AT HOME
MAYBE CHEW ON A BONE
FIND SOME SHADE AND DREAM AWAY ALL DAY
IF I COULD WORK LIKE A DOG
I'D BARK IF I HAD SOMETHING TO SAY
IF I COULD WORK LIKE A DOG
