Where is my dog when hes gone? Hes dog gone gone dog gone When he gets back to our cozy little shack Its doggie where you been so long? Is he gambling all his kibble up in memphis? Or living on a riverboat for free? I wish that I could tell Why he comes home with that smell My dog should never go get gone from me One time he came home with diamonds One time he came home with fleas Next time he comes back I wish hed bring a stack Of hot blueberry pancakes for me Is he driving a truck in new york city? Or peddling a bike across the plains? Someday I might see Why my doggie does leave me Im listenin for barks out in the rain Is he courting a poodle in los angeles? Or dodging trouble in bombay? I ask him for excuses I get stories about gooses I hope hell settle down with me someday
