Barry Louis Polisar I Wanna Be A Dog song lyrics

I wanna be a dog, wanna wag my tail,

Chase cars and knock over garbage cans,

Bite the man who brings the mail.

I wanna be a dog, wanna lie on the floor,

Chase squirrels and cats, get fed, get fat,

Chew your shoe and bark at the door.

I wanna be a dog, wanna dig big holes,

Sniff trees and ground and basset hounds

And pee on telephone poles.

I wanna be a dog, wanna drool all around,

Scratch fleas and ticks and run after sticks,

I just wanna be a hound.

I wanna be a dog, wanna roll in the dirt,

Wanna run in the street, get mud on my feet

And jump up onto your shirt.

I wanna have dog breath, wake the neighbors too.

I'll lick your hand, be the best friend to man;

I've got nothing better to do.

I wanna be a dog, I want my nose to be wet.

I've got a college degree now all I wanna be

Is somebody else's pet
