Lyrics

If I Was a Dog

If I was a dog
I'd run away
To the forest
And one day

I might meet
A lady dog
Live with her
In a hollow log

We would marry
Doggie style
Beneath the moon
We would howl

It would be just
The two of us
But then one day
She'd have some pups

If I was a dog
If I was a dog

Mrs. Dog and
I might buy
A big doghouse
That she and I

Would decorate
With rawhide bones
And cute fire hydrants
On the lawn

Every morning
I'd sit up
Scratch myself
Then take the pups

And drop them off
At doggie school
Where they would learn
How to drool

If I was a dog
If I was a dog

I would go
And meet my friends
Brother wolves
And me and them

Would go hunting
We'd stalk and kill
Gopher, rabbit and
Possum until

Five o'clock
Call it a day
I'd head home
With my fresh prey

And when I got back
To our doghouse
I'd have our dinner
Right there in my mouth

If I was a dog
If I was a dog

We'd eat together
And after that
Spend family time
Scaring cats

At bedtime I
Would tell the pups
You have licked
Yourselves enough

Then just before
They turned in
They'd put their paws
Beneath their chins

"Now I lay me
Down to sleep
I pray the lord
I don't get fleas"

If I was a dog
If I was a dog

The wife and I
Would go outside
And bark a warning
At the night

Then she'd stop
And circle round
Several times
And lay down

And I'd curl up
Next to my dear
Sniff her belly
And lick her ear

And fall asleep
Beneath the stars
And dream of chasing
Great big cars

If I was a dog
If I was a dog
