ONE DOG

ONE DOG

SHE SAID SHE’D BE LOYAL AND BE TRUE

I BOUGHT STEAK DINNER FOR JUST US TWO

LICKED ME ALL DAY AND THRU THE NIGHT 

AND WE FELL IN TOGETHER, STAYED CLOSE AND TIGHT

WE GO TO THE PARK ALMOST EVERYDAY

I’D LIKED TO SIT, SHE LIKED TO PLAY

SHE MET ONE OF HER KIND, BEST FRIENDS FOREVER,

ONCE THEY SNIFFED THEIR  BEHINDS

YOU GOT ONE DOG

YOU GOT A DOG

YOU GOT TWO DOGS

YOU GOT A HALF A DOG

YOU GOT THREE DOGS

YOU AIN’T GOT A DOG AT ALL
IF SHE  DON'T COME
WHEN SHE'S CALLED

AND THEN THERE WERE OTHERS THAT CAME TO PLAY,

ALWAYS RUDE IN A DOG EAT DOG WAY

AND YOU NOTICE SHE DON’T HEAR

A WORD YOU SAY
"C'MON GIRL, LET'S GO HOME.  C'MON, TODAY."

 … and this is what I say…

 YOU GOT ONE DOG

YOU GOT A DOG

YOU GOT TWO DOGS

YOU GOT A HALF A DOG

YOU GOT THREE DOGS

YOU AIN’T GOT A DOG AT ALL
IF SHE DON'T COME WHEN
SHE'S CALLED
