John McCutcheon Dog's Life
Dog’s Life – John McCutcheon
It’s a dog’s life as the family pet
The more you beg, the more you get
Eat like a horse, sleep like a log
It’s a dog’s life when you’re the family dog
Letter carrier comin’ up the walk
Think I’ll go over and have a little talk
Have you got any mail for me today?
Or are you gonna holler “get away, get away”
Chorus
When we go to the mountains, when we go to the beach
They keep those kids on a mighty short leash
Mom’s doggone tired at the end of the day
Just tryin’ to keep all the little puppies at bay
Chorus
Instrumental Break
Well the kids and the cat and the pa and the ma
I got a cold nose and a warm paw
So don’t get a gerbil or a hamster or a frog
Get yourself a friend, get a dog, get a dog
Chorus
