Here’s a little doggy-ditty for your next campfire!
Oh It’s RUFF RUFF RUFF RUFF being a dog, dinner out of a can
Please take me to a restaurant, I’ll sit just like a man!
Oh it’s RUFF RUFF RUFF RUFF being a dog, can’t even drive a car
Can’t sleep on the bed, don’t like it when you shed, it’s doggone too far!
You mustn’t chase the mailman, you cannot chew the rug,
Whatever you do, don’t let them see those ten-foot holes you dug!
They give you names like “Rover” or “Fido” or “Fiff”
I know those names sound good to you, but they’re embarrassing to me!
You mustn’t chase the mailman, or make the kitties squeak,
They take you for a walk on a leash like maybe once a week!
Oh it’s RUFF RUFF RUFF RUFF being a dog, dinner out of a can
Please take me to a restaurant I’ll sit just like a man!
Oh it’s RUFF RUFF RUFF RUFF being a dog, can’t even drive a car
Can’t sleep on the bed, don’t like it when you shed, it’s doggone too far!
(KEY CHANGE: A-LA “GLORY, GLORY HALLELUJAH”)
We mustn’t forget our puppy pals who fought for four-footed hounds!
Who fought the fights for doggy rights to keep us from the pound!
Like Snoopy, Lassie, Rin Tin Tin and HUCKLEBERRRRRRY HOOOOOOUUUND……
A DOG IS MAN’S BEST FRIEND! BUT …………………………..
(BACK TO ORIGINAL KEY)
Oh It’s RUFF RUFF RUFF RUFF being a dog, dinner out of a can
Please take me to a restaurant, I’ll sit just like a man!
Oh it’s RUFF RUFF RUFF RUFF being a dog can’t even drive a car
Can’t sleep on the bed, don’t like it when you shed, it’s doggone TOOOO FARRRRR!
Thank you Sophia for teaching me this great song! And wishing YOU starry nights, s’mores, and Happy Trails! Cookie
