The Musical Sherlock Bones

I have a dog that lives with me his name is Sherlock Bones, He loves to sing his songs to me in beautiful Bloodhound tones. He sings a song of deep regret when he does something wrong, It’s as mournful as he can get but it never lasts too long. He’s too happy to let a bad feeling last when there’s time to play, That’s when he sings his joyous song; it’s his favorite time of day. If I should ask him if he would like to walk the path at the park, He sings a whole aria of squeaks and hums then crescendos with a bark. And when he curls up on the couch to sleep he has talent yet to lend, Because even when he’s sound asleep he’s still musical at each end. My dog’s got the music in him and it keeps trying to get out, So I’ve learned to stop feeding him with beans with sour kraut. Sometimes I will join him and we will howl up at the silvery moon, He’s happy that I’m with him and never complains if I’m out of tune. Oh, Sherlock Bones is a musical dog and he sings with all his might, And I love to hear him sing his songs just not in the middle of the night.
