BEING A DOG
I DON’T THINK I WOULD BE A HOG
‘CAUSE I’D RATHER BE A DOG.
I DON’T THINK I WANT TO BE A SNAIL
‘CAUSE I LIKE WAGGING MY TAIL.
I DON’T LIKE TO BE A SHARK
‘CAUSE I WANT TO BARK.
I WOULDN’T WANT TO BE AN OWL
‘CAUSE I NEED TO HOWL.
I DON’T THINK I WANT TO BE MY AUNT
‘CAUSE I NEED TO PANT.
MAYBE I CAN FLY LIKE AN EAGLE
BUT I’D RATHER BE A BEAGLE.
I DON’T THINK I WANT TO BE A CRAB
I WOULD RATHER BE A LAB.
IT WOULD BE FUN TO CHASE A BEAVER
‘CAUSE IT’S COOL TO BE A RETRIEVER.
I DON’T THINK I WOULD BE A HEN
‘CAUSE I’D RATHER BE MAN’S BEST FRIED.
I DON’T WANT TO CROAK LIKE A FROG
‘CAUSE IT’S BETTER TO BE A DOG.
