Dog's Life

Shuffling down the street with his sideways feet
Stopping now and then and he'll stop again
No doubt in his mind where he's going.

He doesn't care for his hair or his teeth
And if the truth were known he's a bit of a thief
Innocently lies, and it's showing.

Who'd imagine he's man's best friend
Knowing he's your friend in the end
Won't be around when you shout or swear
Not very sorry, he doesn't care
God knows why we call him old faithful.

Pat him on the head, give the dog a bone
Use a friendly tone, he won't leave you alone
No one understands like old faithful.

Early rise. Is it wise?
Wonders happen now and then
Eats his fill, time to kill
Then goes back to sleep again
Trusty slave, bold and brave
And he roars like a lion
But in fact, it's an act
And the truth is that he isn't
No one understands it's a dog's life.

Chases dreams, so it seems
He shines in his master's light
Looking good, so he should
For the choice is very narrow
No one understands it's a dog's life.

Shuffling down the street with his sideways feet
Stopping now and then and he'll stop again
No doubt in his mind where he's going.

He doesn't care for his hair or his teeth
And if the truth were known he's a bit of a thief
Innocently lies, and it's showing.
