Song Lyrics
Want to sing along? Of course you do! So here are the lyrics:
There are lots of kinds of dogs
They’re everywhere you go
They’re big and small and in between
And some of them you know
And now I’ll name off Twenty Dogs
As different as can be
And when the show is through
You will be naming them all with me
Beagle, Poodle, Cocker Spaniel
Husky and Shar-Pei
Dalmatian, St Bernard and Collie,
Schnauzer, Dachshund and Great Dane
Chihuahua, Greyhound, German Shepherd
Bulldog, Doberman Pinscher and Shih Tzu,
Lab Retriever, Basset Hound
And Jack Russell Terrier, too
It isn’t so bad to be so very small
No it isn’t so bad, no, no, not at all
So don’t be too sad, if you’re not very tall
‘Cause it ain’t so bad when you’re so very small
Well, you can ask my pal Ranger
About when he lost his ball
‘Cause he’s a big German Shepherd
Couldn’t reach it at all
There are things that get harder
All the bigger you grow
So when you ask big ol’ Ranger
He will tell you that
It isn’t so bad to be so very small
No it isn’t so bad, no, no, not at all
So don’t be too sad, if you’re not very tall
‘Cause it ain’t so bad when you’re so very small
Or ask my good buddie Buck
‘Cause he’s a huge St Bernard
How many times in a week
He gets to ride in the car
There are places get smaller
All the bigger you grow
So when you run into Buck
He’s sure to tell you that
It isn’t so bad to be so very small
No it isn’t so bad, no, no, not at all
So don’t be too sad, if you’re not very tall
‘Cause it ain’t so bad when you’re so very small
And let my good friend ol’ Morgan
Just an old Bassett Hound
Tell you when was the last time
Someone carried him around
There are things you can’t ask for
All the bigger you grow
So when you talk to old Morgan
Or if you run into Buck
Or if you ask big ol’ Ranger
They’ll all tell you that
It isn’t so bad to be so very small
No it isn’t so bad, no, no, not at all
So don’t be too sad, if you’re not very tall
‘Cause it ain’t so bad when you’re so very small
No it isn’t so bad to be so very small
No it isn’t so bad, no, no, not at all
So don’t be too sad, if you’re not very tall
‘Cause it ain’t so bad when you’re so very small
Being little is all good and fine
But don’t say it’s best
Till you’ve been big like I am
Whoa, Whoa
Whoa, Whoa
Can a small dog or a little pup
Give his owner a kiss
While he is standing up
No, no
No, no
Trust me when I say
Little doggie, hey, hey, being big is fun
Trust me when I say
Little doggie, hey, hey, being big is fun
What do you think about this classic trick
Who will get there faster
Chasing down a stick
Whoa, whoa
I think you know
Eating’s my favorite of all the things I do
And who you think
Will get a lot more food
Whoa, whoa
I think you know
Trust me when I say
Little doggie, hey, hey, being big is fun
Trust me when I say
Little doggie, hey, hey, being big is fun
Now listen closely to what you’re gonna hear
Tell me which of these sounds
Will cause the greatest fear
One more thing I think is funny, too
Stuck behind a fence
Who has the better view?
Whoa, whoa
I think you know
Trust me when I say
Little doggie, hey, hey, being big is fun
Trust me when I say
Little doggie, hey, hey, being big is fun
Trust me when I say
Little doggie, hey, hey, being big is fun
Trust me when I say
Little doggie, hey, hey, being big is fun
Don’t be fooled by a dog
Just because of his size
When you meet on the street
You might be surprised
It seems like every small dog
Should cuddle and be nice
But small dogs will bark a lot
And some may even bite
And great big dogs seem mean
Like they’ll eat you up for lunch
But some are very friendly and
They’ll lick your face a bunch
So, don’t be fooled by a dog
Just because of his size
When you meet on the street
You might be surprised
You’d think you’d find a small dog
Running all around
But some are very lazy
Always sleeping on the ground
And some big dogs you’d think
Might be sleeping in the flowers
Just might be going, going, going
Playing games for hours
Watch ‘em play!
No, don’t be fooled by a dog
Just because of his size
When you meet on the street
You might be surprised
Cuz there are big dogs who are nice
And there are small dogs who are mean
There are small dogs who are fat
And big dogs who are lean
There are big dogs who are fast
There are small dogs who are slow
So be careful, don’t be fooled
Because you just don’t ever know
No, you just don’t ever know
So, don’t be fooled by a dog
Just because of his size
No, don’t be fooled by a dog
Just because of his size
Don’t be fooled by a dog
Just because of his size
When you meet on the street
You might be surprised
Curly or straight
Long or short
Cut ‘n’ styled
Or let it go
Striped or solid
Spots or patches
Buzzed or ‘Fro
Beard or ‘staches
Call it hair, call it fur
Call it any other word
It’s my coat, it’s my look
And I saw that glance you took
Call it cute, call it smart
Cuz I know I have your heart
It’s my coat, it’s my style
And I know it makes you smile
Red or brown
Black or white
Bicolor
Or even tri
Feathered or waves
Rough or smooth
Skin so tight
Or very loose
Call it hair, call it fur
Call it any other word
It’s my coat, it’s my look
And I saw that glance you took
Call it cute, call it smart
Cuz I know I have your heart
It’s my coat, it’s my style
And I know it makes you smile
Keepin’ me warm
Keepin’ me cool
At home, at work
Even in the pool
All foo fooed up
With ribbons ‘n’ bows
Or tough and mean
That’s how I go
Call it hair, call it fur
Call it any other word
It’s my coat, it’s my look
And I saw that glance you took
Call it cute, call it smart
Cuz I know I have your heart
It’s my coat, it’s my style
And I know it makes you smile
Call it hair, call it fur
Call it any other word
It’s my coat, it’s my look
And I saw that glance you took
Call it cute, call it smart
Cuz I know I have your heart
It’s my coat, it’s my style
And I know it makes you smile
There’s a rabbit just outside
He’s been playing in our yard
I can hear him hopping ‘round
Don’t have to listen very hard
A gaggle of geese flew by
You wouldn’t believe how low
I spied them with my eyes
And caught their scent with my nose
If your nose worked like mine
If your ears heard this well
You’d bark, and maybe whine
What’s that sound, what’s that smell?
A lizard tries to hide
His colors in the grass
Guess he doesn’t understand
How I can sniff him down so fast
Then marching in a line
Comes a family of quail
How’d you know I found them?
Am I waggling my tail?
If your nose worked like mine
If your ears heard this well
You’d bark, and maybe whine
What’s that sound, what’s that smell?
I bet you didn’t know
There’s a big dog down the road
And another little tiny dog
Who lives almost as close
Yep, I can hear them call
Can pick their scent up, too
Is it not so amazing
What a dog like me can do
If your nose worked like mine
If your ears heard this well
You’d bark, and maybe whine
What’s that sound, what’s that smell?
So the next time that you wonder
‘Bout that look upon my face
About the crazy sound I make
Or what I’m giving chase
Just remember I can smell stuff
You don’t even catch a whiff
And I can hear all kinds of things
Your human ears just miss
]
Don’t even try to make me smile
I’m in a grouchy mood
Grouchy mood, oh yeah
Grouchy mood, oh no
None of your silly tricks will work
Not toys, or games or food
Tasty food, oh no
Tasty food, oh yeah
Because this frown that you see is stuck on my face
Nothing you can do to make a smile take its place
Nothing you can do to make me smile
Cuz when I decide I’m feeling mad
You might as well give up
Just give up, oh yeah
Just give up, oh no
Always been stubborn this way
Since I was a little pup
Little pup, oh yeah
Little pup, you betcha
I say this frown that you see is stuck on my face
Nothing you can do to make a smile take its place
Nothing you can do to make me smile
Oh, I can feel your fingers tickling me
But you can never win
You may think you’ve got me now
Because you see me grin
But you have made a big mistake
As very soon you’ll see
This great big frown is stuck on me
This frown that you see is stuck on my face
Nothing you can do to make a smile take its place
Nothing you can do to make me smile
Ok, ok, you proved your point
Please stop before I lose control
Lose control, oh yeah
Lose control, oh no
Now look what you made me do
You better clean it up now, bro
Clean up bro, oh yeah
Clean up bro, you got it
And now this smile that you see is stuck on my face
Nothing you can do to make a frown take its place
Nothing you can do to make me frown
Yeah this smile that you see is stuck on my face
Nothing you can do to make a frown take its place
Nothing you can do to make me frown
Is your occiput domed?
Is your cranium round?
Or is your head flat
Like a speedy Greyhound
No matter its shape
Or its geometry
Domed, round or flat
It’s quite perfect to me
Let me tell you a story
About a dog we’ll call Chap
So worried about his head
Always wore a ball cap
Told that little doggie
Time and again
Head round or flat
You will still be my friend
Is your occiput domed?
Is your cranium round?
Or is your head flat
Like a speedy Greyhound
No matter its shape
Or its geometry
Domed, round or flat
It’s quite perfect to me
Look at our good friend Cash
The coolest dog around
Head flat as a pancake
The flattest I’ve found
Or what of old Lassie’s
Shaped nothing like a dome
Her head’s long and thin
But she’s smartest dog I know
Is your occiput domed?
Is your cranium round?
Or is your head flat
Like a speedy Greyhound
No matter its shape
Or its geometry
Domed, round or flat
It’s quite perfect to me
Then early one morning
While out for a walk
I saw my pal Chappie
No hat! What a shock!
A simple mistake
All along, he explained
Not the shape of my head
But a month-long bad hair day
Is your occiput domed?
Is your cranium round?
Or is your head flat
Like a speedy Greyhound
No matter its shape
Or its geometry
Domed, round or flat
It’s quite perfect to me
Yes, domed, round or flat
It’s quite perfect to me
Just doing my job
I’m just trying to be me
You see what you get
And you get what you see
Yeah, I’m quite a dog
But it comes naturally
Just doing my job
I’m just trying to be me
What kinds of things can you do?
Well this dog saves people with a rescue crew
And here’s one who guides folks with disabilities
And here’s one now who’s good at herding sheep
I say, wow, they rock, and there’s even more
Well this dog races faster than I’ve seen before
And here’s one who stands guard on your property
And this one here leads a sledding team
Just doing my job
I’m just trying to be me
You see what you get
And you get what you see
Yeah, I’m quite a dog
But it comes naturally
Just doing my job
I’m just trying to be me
Tell me, what’s your favorite chore?
Well this dog swims, dives and then swims some more
And this one retrieves balls or even sometimes birds
While this one burrows down and digs up dirt
Wow, that’s cool! But don’t stop cuz I’ll show you now!
How this dog protects you with his mean ol’ growl
And here’s one who will search if there’s someone lost
And this one here likes to show who’s boss
Just doing my job
I’m just trying to be me
You see what you get
And you get what you see
Yeah, I’m quite a dog
But it comes naturally
Just doing my job
I’m just trying to be me
Look, now I’ve got someone else
Here’s a dog who tracks things with his sense of smell
And here’s one who can hunt for all kinds of prey
And this big guy will chase the bad guys away
Well right on! But tell me do you work all day?
Cuz this dog sure don’t cuz he loves to play!
But with all these dogs do, tell you, in the end
Best of all, they can be your friend
Just doing my job
I’m just trying to be me
You see what you get
And you get what you see
Yeah, I’m quite a dog
But it comes naturally
Just doing my job
I’m just trying to be me
Just doing my job
I’m just trying to be me
You see what you get
And you get what you see
Yeah, I’m quite a dog
But it comes naturally
Just doing my job
I’m just trying to be me
Guess what makes me so happy?
I love dogs and dogs love me!
Guess what makes me so happy?
I love dogs and dogs love me!
Cuz you’re so cute
With your wagglin’ tongue
Cuz you like to play
Always ready to run
Cuz you get excited
With something to eat
Cuz you like sniffin’
and lickin’ my feet
Can’t help put a smile on my face
What’s the use, oh, it’s always the case
Guess what makes me so happy?
I love dogs and dogs love me!
Guess what makes me so happy?
I love dogs and dogs love me!
Cuz you will cuddle
Up close in my bed
Cuz you bug out your eyes
Every time you play dead
Cuz you like to dance
Oh, and you really jive
Cuz you stand up
When you give me high-five
Because of the smile
When your belly is scratched
Cuz you can chase down
A Frisbee and catch
Can’t help put a smile on my face
What’s the use, oh, it’s always the case
Cuz you’re not a cat, or a bird or a frog
Not a lizard or fish, No, because you’re a dog
Cuz you’re not a cat, or a bird or a frog
Not a lizard or fish, No, because you’re a dog
Guess what makes me so happy?
I love dogs and dogs love me!
Guess what makes me so happy?
I love dogs and dogs love me!
Guess what makes me so happy?
I love dogs and dogs love me!
