Lyrics
I used to have a pointer, Born with A.D.D. I swore the next dog that I got Would have some sanity. I did all of my research, Picked a gold retriever: Docile, friendly, sweet... And an overachiever. I like a dog that fetches, But he is quite obsessive. Happily, my neighbors Aren't terribly possessive. A kong, a ball, a rope, a shoe - I must bring them all to you. The news, the phone, a sock, your hat. Hey look, I've got the neighbor's cat. My mouth is soft. My drive is strong. A gift of skunk; is something wrong? I hate to hurt his feelings. To please me is his role. But sometimes getting rid of stuff Is my intended goal. I don't want that apple core Or that well-used tissue. Good lord, spit out the roadkilled squirrel. And no, I will not kiss you! I flip through pet store catalogs. Muzzles make me grin. But stopping him from being him Would really be a sin. A kong, a ball, a rope, a shoe - I must bring them all to you. The news, the phone, a sock, your hat. Hey look, I've got the neighbor's cat. My mouth is soft. My drive is strong. A gift of skunk; is something wrong?
