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
