Lyrics
?I Have A Dog Named Rufus?
?Hearts Reaching Out ? CD - Track # 7

Music: Phil Bennington
Words: Connie Bennington

I have a dog named Rufus
But I always call him Toothless
He?s missing some teeth and his breath is bad
But I love him to pieces
When I get up in the car
Rufus knows what?s going on
So he jumps in the back don?t matter if were move-in
Cause Rufus is groove-in
Chorus:
Oh Rufus, he?s a silly boy
An old bean bag is his favorite toy
Oh Rufus, he?s a silly dog
Can?t do without him, cause he?s my boy
Well one day Rufus sat in the car all day
Couldn?t get?em out, it was heck to pay
The saddest face I?d ever seen
Would make your heart sink to your feet
So I took?em out for a little spin
Ears a floppin in the wind
Nose straight up to smell it all
He was just haven a ball
Chorus
Bridge: Ugliest thing I ever seen
God must of made?em, like he makes everything
Looks don?t matter with Rufus and me
Love?em anyway, he?s my boy ya see
God had some humor when he made that boy, Un-Hu yea he did
Chorus
Close -
Oh Rufus, he?s a silly boy, Oh Rufus he?s my boy,
Oh Rufus he?s my boy, ?O-RUFUS?
