Untitled pet song


If I wake you with a wet cold nose
In the middle of the night
Will you open up the blankets
Let me in and hold me tight

Will you rub my fuzzy tummy
When you'd rather be asleep
Be happy with a dirty dog
Instead of counting sheep

Will you tell me that you love me
Even when my fur is wet
Wipe away the slobber
And be proud to own a pet?


If I chew through all your loafers
And I try to eat your socks
Will I still be your bestest boy
And get to go for walks

Will you follow with a baggie
In the rain and in the sleet
And stop to let me sniff the tail
Of everyone we meet

Will you tell me that you love me
Even when my fur is wet
Wipe away the slobber
And be proud to own a pet?


And if I bring home a rabbit
That's seen much better days
And leave it on the sofa
To startle and amaze

Will you be proud and happy
Will you rub behind my ears
Will you let me have one final chew
Before it disappears

Will you tell me that you love me
Even when my fur is wet
Wipe away the slobber
And be proud to own a pet?


I hope I make you happy
And I hope I make you smile
I hope that I can push away
Your troubles for a while

You are my bestest person
You set my tail asway
And there is no one else with whom
A dog would rather stay

Because I'll always love you
Even when my fur is wet
I'll share a little slobber
And be proud to be your pet
