Lyrics

Buster Says "Ruff"

(Chorus)
Go! Go! Go! To Boomer?s house we go
?cause Boomer?s is where Buster lives, the friendliest dog I know
Buster says, "Ruff, ruff, ruff" "RUFF!" and that?s how Buster speaks
You?ll want to go and say hello It?s friends like us he seeks

Let?s march! (1st two choruses only)

And the duck goes "Quack, quack, quack" ? The ducky likes to quack
Just waddlin? on to Buster?s house and there?s no turning back
And we say (Chorus)

And the owl goes "Hoot, hoot, hoot" ? The owl likes to hoot
He wants to go to Boomer?s house ?cause Buster lives there, too!
And we say (Chorus)

And the duck goes "Quack, quack, quack" The ducky likes to quack
And the owl goes "Hoot, hoot, hoot" "I need a parachute!"

And the cat goes "Meow, meow, meow" ? The kitty likes to meow
She?ll climb the fence but she won?t fall and Buster wonders how
And we say (Chorus)

And the duck goes "Quack, quack, quack" The ducky likes to quack
And the owl goes "Hoot, hoot, hoot" The owl likes to hoot
And the cat goes "Meow, meow, meow" and Buster wonders how

And the bird goes "Tweet, tweet, tweet" ? The birdie likes to tweet
She?ll flap her wings and fly so high to rest her tiny feet
And we say (Chorus)

Duck, owl, cat
And the bird goes "Tweet, tweet, tweet" a talking parakeet

And the horse goes "Nay, nay, nay" ? The horsy likes to nay
?cause Tony is a happy horse and gallops every day
And we say (Chorus)

Duck, owl, cat, bird
And the horse goes "Nay, nay, nay" when he wants to play

And the sheep goes "Baa, baa, baa" ? The sheep she likes to baa
?cause Buster is her partner and they dance the cha-cha-cha
Let?s dance! Cha-cha Cha-cha-cha, Cha-cha Cha-cha-cha
Cha-cha Cha-cha-cha, Cha-Cha-Cha
And we say (Chorus)

Duck, owl, cat, bird, horse
And the sheep goes "Baa, baa, baa" "Dance the cha-cha-cha!"

And the pig goes "Oink, oink, oink" ? The piggy likes to oink
At Boomer?s house there?s lots of food, not to disappoint
And we say (Chorus)

Duck, owl, cat, bird, horse, sheep
And the pig goes "Oink, oink, oink" so we won?t miss the point

And the bull goes "Snort, snort, snort" ? The bull he always snorts
Let?s hope his friend the cow is there or he?ll be out of sorts
And we say (Chorus)

Duck, owl, cat, bird, horse, sheep, pig
And the bull goes "Snort, snort, snort" He?s not such a good sport

And the cow goes "Moo, moo, moo" ? The cow she likes to moo
She?s got milk and cookies for her friends like me and you
And we say (Chorus)

Duck, owl, cat, bird, horse, sheep, pig, bull
And the cow goes "Moo, moo, moo" not like a kangaroo

And the chick goes "Buck, buck, buck" ? The chicken likes to buck
She?s going to lay the golden egg that always brings good luck
And we say (Chorus)

Duck, owl, cat, bird, horse, sheep, pig, bull, cow
And the chick goes "Buck, buck, buck" "Don?t take me for a duck!"

And the cricket goes "Chirp, chirp, chirp" ? The cricket likes to chirp
He?ll hop right up on Tony?s back and ride like Wyatt Earp

And we say (Chorus)

Duck, owl, cat, bird, horse, sheep, pig, bull, cow, chick
And the cricket goes "Chirp, chirp, chirp" "Whistle while you work"

We?ll march with Buster one by one when
Boomer starts to play his drum ? "RUFF, RUFF!" Animals Are Fun!
