Lyrics

Politics just aren't my thing.
Can't tell a jester from a king.
But you know a man by how he treats his dog.

And Barney says
"He's a good man, a decent guy.
Finds time to throw my ball."
Perfect?  Maybe not to you.
But to this dog, he's always been true.

The media, they catch his gaffs,
And milk them for a thousand laughs.
But a dog doesn't care about that stuff.

He hugged him when the towers fell.
A dog just lives for things to smell.
Global is as far as around the block.

And Barney says
"He's a good man, a decent guy.
Finds time to throw my ball."
Perfect?  Maybe not to you.
But to this dog, he's always been true.

Johnson tugged on ears to public dread.
Clinton's lab got mashed by tire tread.
But Fala had the job well understood.

Be there as a trusted friend,
Proud and loyal to the end,
No matter what they say about your pal.

And Barney says
"He's a good man, a decent guy.
Finds time to throw my ball."
Perfect?  Maybe not to you.
But to this dog, he's always been true.

A Scottie knows a thing or two,
'Bout what a President could do
To look out for the vast United States.

A Scottie loves his kind and treats them well,
Chases bad guys into hell.
Don't tread on what is dear to his brave heart.

And Barney says
"He's a good man, a decent guy.
Finds time to throw my ball."
Perfect?  Maybe not to you.
But to this dog, he's always been true.

Politics just aren't my thing.
Can't tell a jester from a king.
But you know a man by how he treats his dog.
