Chorus: I wanna be a puppy dog Ruff ruff ruff ruff ruff ruff - a puppy dog I'd chew on a shoe and go for a walk I'd lick your hand and bark to talk Chorus I'd chase the cat clear up in the tree Fetch a ball how happy I would be You'd scratch my ears, I'd lay at your feet I'd growl at the door and chase rabbits in my sleep Chorus (x2) I'd play outside and jump in the lake I'd sleep in your bed and lick your face awake I'd chase the cat clear up in the tree Fetch a ball how happy I would be You'd scratch my ears, I'd lay at your feet I'd growl at the door and chase rabbits in my sleep Chorus I wanna be a puppy dog And if I can't be one I really hope to see one Sitting in a basket and looking back at me
