Lyrics

I don't know why they wanna leave me alone from morning 'til the end of the day
They pat me on the head, throw me a bone like that's supposed to make it okay
As much I like strokin', I need more than that for lovin'
Especially when it only happens after dark
I wish that we could get away, even if just for a day
Spend some time and play in the park

They get angry when I try to explain why I don't like being left behind
They choke my collar when I bark out of rage
They beat me when I'm sad and I whine
At least they leave me lots of toys like leather goods and a persian rug
To litter when I really gotta go
And of course, there is the Serta™ which makes nap time so much betta
Especially with a clean puffy pillow

You roll over, play dead, beg a little, get fed
Puppy dog life can be easy
But the flea bites ,and ear mites, and big cats who wanna fight
Give a little dachshund the blues
