Clever Little Doggie

Clever little doggie, with your head hung low.
You knew you were bad, you knew it, though.

You barked your orders many times near the door,
But, I didn’t listen, so you piddled on the floor.

Clever little doggie, now your head you’re holding high
You’re rewarded with a treat, and that’s simply why.

You scared away the robbers who broke in through the glass.
You barked and alerted us and bit them on the ass.

Clever little doggie, is what I say of you
as you lie here near my chair and do the things you do.
