He Barks

Genghis, He barks, He barks, He barks
Genghis he barks

If he wants you to hold him, He barks
If he wants to be let go again, He barks
If he sees stranger or friend, He barks
If he wants out or in, He barks
If he wants you to pet him, He barks
If he gets caught peeing on the rug again, He barks
If he wants you up at 3 AM, He barks

Good or bad, wrong or right
Happy or sad, day or night
Genghis he barks

If you are leaving him, He barks
If you come home again, He barks
If you exclude him, He barks
If he gets attention, He barks
If you scold him, He barks
If he gets too much affection, He barks
If he chases the wind, He barks

Full or hungry, work or play
Cat or hombre, shy or brave
Genghis, He barks, He barks, He barks
Genghis he barks

Genghis, He baaa...Screams like a banshee death cry
Yelping shrieking like he's gonna die
Whining whimpering wanting to be held
Naughty Kublia bit his tail
He Barks!

lol - our friends dog sat for 3 months - the dog just sat there didn't bark when we called - the most pathetic creature you have seen - he didn't know how to 'play' - he now is running round like a puppy and plays - makes s funny little noise but still cant or wont bark:-) Hugs jan xx
