I'D Rather Be a Dog

When it comes down to it all I'd rather be a dog Laying in the shade all day With nothing going on When I want fun I'll bark and run Chase a ball to kingdom come Lick anyone that comes along Mess on the floor and then play dumb Thought about this more than some I'd rather be a dog My favorite pastime all day long Gnawing on a bone If I get bored I'll scratch myself Being fed by someone else With table scraps I'll gladly help With no sane reason I'll madly yelp If I should ever get the call I'd rather be a dog Short or skinny, fat or tall I'd rather be a dog I'd bark if I need to go out Sniff here and there then there about Dig up every last inch of ground Go heebie jeebies at the slightest sound I've thought about this long and tall I'd rather be a dog Never would I be a cat As if that's a choice at all
