The Dog You Left At Home

THE DOG YOU LEFT AT HOME

I’m the dog you left at home
It’s lonely here when you’re gone
But don’t ya worry, I’ll make due
I’ll find somethin’ here .. to chew

There’s your wife’s high heeled shoes
The kid’s homework, the Daily News
I’m a miracle with a paw
Yes I made that hole in the floor

Cuz it’s my way to say, “I love you”
To bark, whine and howl
And leave behind a pile of … clues

You think I’ll make no more noise
So ya humor me with some toys
Stuffed animals, hot diggity-dog!
But after I tear their heads off, I’m bored

Cuz it’s my way to say, “I miss you”
To bark, whine and howl
And leave behind a surprise or two
You know that I’m your best friend
I have you cleaning up again
I keep you fit, that’s what I do
But I’m so dog-gone tired training you
Yeh I’m so dog-gone tired training you
