Lyrics
Day one of beginner class - A slobbering, jumping bean. Rocky's just a bit high strung, Like a crackhead on caffeine. He wiggles, bounces, strains on lead. His focus, awfully brief. His owner sucks another Tums In search of some relief. A lady has a border collie That does foreign car repair. She frowns at hyper Rocky, Suggests his owner not despair. She doesn't really mean it, Thinks that Rocky is a fool. Doesn't get the appeal Of clothes all wet with drool. Rocky's owner downs a Prozac, Chases that regret. Could have had some other breed As his chosen pet. At the obedience trial, "Forward," says the judge. Her owner marches out ahead, But Ginger doesn't budge. She contemplates airplanes, Leers at a kid's Big Mac, Has visions of a poodle Becoming mid-day snack. The neighbor with the poodle That she longs to use as floss Insists if Ginger runs away, It wouldn't be a loss. Fifi knows her logarithms, Darns the children's socks. She vows that boxers got their name For "dumber than a box of rocks." Ginger's owner downs a Prozac, Chases that regret. Could have had some other breed As her chosen pet. Agility the outlet For this lively pup. "Weave, jump, go tunnel!" Daisy's eyes lit up. She bolted like Seattle Slew, Looped the dismayed crowd - Deaf to any "come" command No matter how sweet or loud. Her instructor's blonde retriever Is worth its weight in gold. Has titles up the wazoo, Isn't even 6 months old. He sneers at Daisy boxer, Insists retrievers are the best. Just can't grasp the reason To own any of the rest. Daisy's owner downs a Prozac, Chases that regret. Could have had some other breed As her chosen pet. These 3 dejected owners Call on the local shrink, "Help us cope with these darn dogs, Or we'll be forced to drink!" The doctor smiles knowingly, "Throw away your drugs! The cure is right beside you In the form of boxer hugs." "Who wants a dog that's serious? Overrated is IQ. The smartest dog that you can have Is the one that laughs with you." "It may seem rather flattering A dog programmed to heed, But there are more important things. That's the brilliance of this breed." "Humor is a gift. Boxers love to give. Laugh at him, and at yourself, And then you'll learn to live!" The owners flushed their Prozac. Regrets, they now have none. While other breeds are sucking up, Their dogs are having fun! They'll get them trained, imperfectly. They've become okay with that. A dog that has a mind of its own Is more appealing than Prozac.
