Lyrics

Hey, little doggy, walkin' down the street.
Happy with the way the road comes up to meet your feet.
Hey, little doggy, what more can I say?
Nothin' left to do, but just to bark, eat, sleep and play.

It's a dog's life, if you take it.
No strife if you don't make it.
There's no need to worry if your bowl's already full.
It's a dog's life, very funny.
Your days are always sunny.
Why can't I be like a doggy too?
Instead of wastin' time moonin' over you.

Pantin' at your window, scratchin' at your door.
You always leave me hungry; always wantin' more.
If I were a doggy, your best friend I would be,
But you leave me so lonely, baby can't you see?

It's a dog's life, if you take it.
No strife if you don't make it.
There's no cause to worry if your bowl is always full.
It's a dog's life, very funny!
Your days are always sunny.
Why can't I be like a doggy too?
Instead of wastin' time moonin' over you.

There are two sides to every penny, nickel, dime or quarter.
There's always another Lenny, Harry, Tom or Porter.
There's more fish in the sea man, more vistas to view,
But I'm stuck in this tree man. lookin' just for you.

Repeat chorus
