Lyrics

Copyright 2012 Donovan Tucker It's a Dog's Life

I like to bark Howl at the moon
Go to the park Sleep all afternoon
I got it made , made in the shade
Cause I live a dog's life

I've got some habits I know I should change
I drink from the toilet When you look away
I run like a greyhound when you tell me to stay
But hey - that's a dog's life

I love taking rides except for that trip
You took me to the doctor
I wound up getting fixed
What were you thinking ? Man , that really hurt
That ain't no dog's life

Bridge

Sometimes I dream I'm on the beach
Somebody lets me off my leash
I get to run and splash around with other dogs
Ill chase a bird until it flies
I'll stare a cat right in the eye
At least until he shows me his claws

My favorite movie is Turner & Hooch
But I can't watch Ol Yeller
They shoot the poor pooch
And that dog who played Lassie - was really a dude
I guess that's a dog's life (solo)

My head out the car window
My hair in the breeze
A roll in the grass , a chew toy that squeaks
These are a few of my favorite things
That make up a dog's life

I don't like sweaters - , I don't like baths But I love my human - no strings attached
He fills my food bowl Scratches my back
Yeah that's a dog's life
I gotta go now , time for my nap
Cause I live a dog's life
