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
nothing 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 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.
Panting at your window, scratching at your door.
You always leave me hungry always wanting more.
If I were a doggy, I'd be your best friend,
but you leave me so lonely feels like it's the end!
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 ev'ry penny, nickel, dime and 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 up in this tree, man, lookin' just for you!
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, instead of wastin' time,
instead of wastin' time moonin' over you.
