about

It could be fun.

lyrics

If I was a dog I’d scratch my belly
I’d scratch it with my paw
It would be the furriest belly
That you ever saw

Doggie, doggie, rr-ruf-ruf
Doggie, doggie, rr-ruf-ruf
Doggie, doggie, doggie-doggie-doggie
Doggie, doggie, rr-ruf-ruf

If I was a dog I would lay down
Lay down on the floor
I’d roll around and scratch my back
And then I’d bark at the door

Chorus

If I was a dog I’d lick your face
And it would taste so good
I would lick your face and then
I’d chew on a piece of wood

Chorus

If I was a dog I’d wag my tail
And pant on top of your head
At the end of the day I’d lay down
Beside you in your bed

Chorus
