Dog Breath

 
Chorus: 

Oh, I wanna have dog breath (pant, pant) 
I wanna learn to growl (grrr) 
Scratch fleas and ticks, chase after sticks, 
I want the moon to make me howl! (HOWL) 

Oh, I wanna be a dog 
I wanna lay on the floor 
Chase cats, get fed, get pats on the head 
Chew your shoes and bark at the door! 

Oh, I wanna be a dog 
I wanna wag my tail 
Chase cars and trucks, knock over garbage cans 
And bite the lady who brings the mail! 

Oh, I wanna be a dog 
I want a big wet nose 
I wanna run on the street, muddy my feet, 
And jump all over your clothes! 

Oh, I wanna be a dog 
I want to dig big holes 
I want to sniff french poodles and basset hounds 
And pee on telephone poles! 

Oh, I wanna be a dog 
I wanna lay on the ground 
Bein' human these days is gettin' crazy 
And I just want to be a hound!
