Dog’s Life
by Dana Robinson

Got a house, got a home
Got a pad I call my own
I like it here I think I’ll settle in
Now I know all is well
So far as I can tell
The food is good
And the woodstove sure feels fine

It’s a dog’s life
It’s a dog’s life
The food is good and the woodstove sure feels fine

It was not long ago
I witnessed kennel row
The line grew shorter
And my days were numbered few
But they came just in time
They treated me so kind
They opened the door
And they let me run outside

It’s a dog’s life
It’s a dog’s life
They opened the door and they let me run outside

I got the yard and the sun
I don’t bother anyone
But if you’ve got strange ideas
You better keep away
‘Cause I’m not going back
To that lonesome kennel camp
I’ll sit right here and keep them squirrels away

It’s a dog’s life
It’s a dog’s life
I’ll just stay right here and keep them squirrels away

It’s a dog’s life
It’s a dog’s life
I’ll just stay right here and keep them squirrels away
