It's a dog's life as the family pet
The more you beg, the more you get
Eat like a horse, sleep like a log
It's a dog's life when you're the family dog
Letter carrier coming up the walk
Think I'll go over and have a little talk
Have you got any mail for me today
Or are you gonna holler "Get away, get away!"
It's a dog's life as the family pet
The more you beg, the more you get
Eat like a horse, sleep like a log
It's a dog's life when you're the family dog
When we go to the mountains, when we go to the beach
They keep those kids on a mighty short leash
Mom's doggone tired at the end of the day
Just tryin' to keep all those little puppies at bay
It's a dog's life as the family pet
The more you beg, the more you get
Eat like a horse, sleep like a log
It's a dog's life when you're the family dog
When they finally go to bed I'm working really hard
Howlin' at the moon and diggin' up the yard
Dad'll start growling in the middle of the night
But his bark is a whole lot worse than his bite
It's a dog's life as the family pet
The more you beg, the more you get
Eat like a horse, sleep like a log
It's a dog's life when you're the family dog
ย
For the kids and the cat and the pa and the ma
I got a cold nose and a warm paw
So don't get a gerbil or a hamster or a frog
Get yourself a friend, get a dog, get a dog
It's a dog's life as the family pet
The more you beg, the more you get
Eat like a horse, sleep like a log
It's a dog's life when you're the family dog
