I am just a poor dog
Though my story's seldom told
I have wandered through existence
For a bucket full of Alpo, such are promises

All lies and jests
Still a dog has ultrasonic ears
And hears the worst and best
Mmm-mmm-mmm...
When I left my home and my littermates
I was no more than a pup
In the custody of humans
In the chaos of a downtown kennel running scared

Whining low, hoping some nice human being
Would take pity on me so
Take me home with them and make me their Fido

Lie La Lie
(WOOF!)
Lie La Lie
Lie Lie La Lie
Lie La Lie
(WOOF!)
Lie La Lie
Lie Lie La Lie
La La La
Lie Lie

Asking only for my supper
I am hoping for a home
But I get no offers
Just a cage in some pet store on Seventh Avenue
I do declare, there are times when I feel so lonesome
I nip at my own hair
Mmm-mmm-mmm...

Lie La Lie
(WOOF!)
Lie La Lie
Lie Lie La Lie
Lie La Lie
(WOOF!)
Lie La Lie
Lie Lie La Lie
La La La
Lie Lie

Then a human wearing winter clothes
Said, "Come on, boy, we are
Going home!"
Now a New York City human will be feeding me
Feeding me! Going home!

In the clearing stands a boxer
With the best of pedigrees
And he carries the reminders
Of ev'ry cage where he laid down
And whimpered till he cried out,
In his lonely canine way,
"Take me home please, take me home please!"
Now he's found a place to stay
He's a lucky dog - he's found a home today

Lie La Lie
(WOOF!)
Lie La Lie
Lie Lie La Lie
Lie La Lie
(WOOF!)
Lie La Lie
Lie Lie La Lie
La La La
Lie Lie
(WOOF!)
