The Lyrics
It's doggie show season.
The dog I acquire won't have to be,
A prizewinning purebred with pedegree.
The puppy I adopt,
Won't have papers or ribbons or come from a shop.
His eyes will be lustrous and in his genes,
Will be a mixture of breeds unseen.
'Stead of nasty, he'll be sassy,
And, to me, he'll be classy as Lassie.
A dog from the shelter, the dog I acquire should be.
Arf, arf, arf, arf, woof, woof, arf, arf, arf, arf,
Arf, arf, arf, arf, woof, woof, arf, arf, arf, arf..........
His tail will be wagging, his fur will shine,
Just like gold and silver because he's mine.
'Stead of mopin', he'll be rompin',
When I'm threatened he'll howl like a siren.
The houn' dawg I make mine, a mongeral canine will be.
A prizewinning purebred with pedegree.
The puppy I adopt,
Won't have papers or ribbons or come from a shop.
His eyes will be lustrous and in his genes,
Will be a mixture of breeds unseen.
'Stead of nasty, he'll be sassy,
And, to me, he'll be classy as Lassie.
A dog from the shelter, the dog I acquire should be.
Arf, arf, arf, arf, woof, woof, arf, arf, arf, arf,
Arf, arf, arf, arf, woof, woof, arf, arf, arf, arf..........
His tail will be wagging, his fur will shine,
Just like gold and silver because he's mine.
'Stead of mopin', he'll be rompin',
When I'm threatened he'll howl like a siren.
The houn' dawg I make mine, a mongeral canine will be.

Very nice, 2Eagle. You sound like a true dog-lover. I've been tossing around a few honorifics penned to celebrate the life and mourn the passing of our 10½-year-old yellow Lab, Lucy, whose misery with multiple organ failures forced us to let her go just last Saturday. Missing her probably even more than we are, but easing the bow to us is her surviving buddy and coincidental birthday sharer, Kaya, a 9-year-old Golden Retriever/German Shepherd/Greyhound/?? mix. All 5s for your lovely lyric.
every bit as charming as the OS...dug this
Doggone good.
I like doggie parodies...and this is a good one
Very nice, 2Eagle. At first, when I saw "dog" in the title, I thought it meant that a guy was stuck with an unattractive girl.
Thanks, Harry, AFW, John and Alvin. Sorry about your dog, Stan - I wish they would live longer.
