Sometimes I want to be a dog
Lay around the house all day, like a lump upon a log.
Go out in the yard to pee, it really ain’t that hard to see
Why a dog’s life … that’s the life for me.

Sometimes I want to be a dog.
Forget the way you left me and treated me so wrong.
Not think about you all the time, go sniff another dog’s behind.
A dog’s life yeah that’s the life for me.

Oh, I want to be a dog.
Nothing to do, nowhere to go, no one to lead me on.
Turn my tail on memories of you and all we done.  
Sometimes I want to be a dog. 

Oh lord, please let me be a dog.
Wouldn’t have to work or watch the clock.
I’d curl up in my little round bed, oblivious to those words you said.
A dog's life, that's the life for me.

Oh, I want to be a dog.
Nothing to do, nowhere to go, no one to lead me on.
Lift my leg on memories of you and all we done.  
Sometimes I want to be a dog. 

A doggie’s life is easy. A doggie’s life is free.
A doggie’s got no worries except for the occasional flea.  
In a doggie’s life the fact you’re gone wouldn’t mean a thing to me.
Sometimes I want to be a dog.

Wouldn't it be nice to be a dog.
Chase a ball and go out for a walk.
And if you come to visit my owner, you wouldn’t know it was me.
And I’d jump up and hump your leg and be as happy as I could be.  
Yeah, I’d jump up and hump your leg and be as happy as I could be.  

Oh God, please let me be a dog.
