Your grass is cut your flowers in bloom
but my fence is broken, I haven't much room
You have nice things in your home
Like your Sony TV and new cordless phone
I have a cute face no arms just four feet
I can't clean my own mess or keep my pen neat
BUT HEY, I'M JUST A DOG
you paid $40 on your new hairdoo
And $6.95 for the salon shampoo
I itch and I scratch what's crawling on me
I feel ticks, mites and a few hundred fleas
Go ahead with your bath use shower gel
While I lay here dirty, gosh how I smell
BUT HEY, I'M JUST A DOG
You have shelter and clothes, never go hungry
Plenty to drink, so full is your tummy
I need fresh water and good food to eat
A warm place in the winter, shade from the heat
BUT HEY, I'M JUST A DOG
