• Oh yes, I know that you're not interested, I see
    And I should let you go your way, that would be most mature of me
    But I've thought for oh so long and had the best idea yet
    That you and I would get along if you would let me be your pet...

    I'd be the kind to follow everywhere
    You'd run your fingers through my hair
    Hold me close when you've had a fright
    And let me in your bed when it's cold at night
    You'd rub me real nice behind my ears
    And sing me songs after you've had a couple beers
    Give me treats when I've done something right
    And let me in your bed when it's cold at night


    Oh yes, and if my offer smacks of servitude
    I only need remind you true love's course has yet to run real smooth
    So now if you will let me near you all the night and day
    Well, you will on your own see I do plenty more than sit or stay...

    Oh yes, and you could ask me where's my sense of pride
    And I would tell you I've not had one since I met you last July
    So now you see that it is rather foolish to give up
    All of the perks and all the benefits if I were your spaniel pup...

    You'd rub me real nice behind my ears
    And sing me songs after you've had a couple beers
    Give me treats when I've done something right
    And let me in your bed, would you let me in your bed, if you'd let me in your bed when it's cold at night...
