A Dog’s Life Lyrics

[Verse 1]
If I had my life to live over
I know just what I'd like to be
A pampered pet of a rich brunette
Sitting on my mama's knee
Someone to love me, someone to care
Rub-a-dub dubble little fingers through my hair

[Chorus]
I need a dog's life
What a life, that's good enough for me
That's good enough for me

[Verse 2]
If I had a bone to be picking
I'd be picking chicken or a steak
Curled up there in an easy chair
Man, that won't be hard to take
I'll always be faithful, that's what I'd be
Never bite a hand that feeds me, no siree

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
I'd find me a pink little poodle
And lose my noodle over her
I chase her around all over town
Just to ruffle up her fur
Nuzzle her muzzle, a holding her paw
Greatest case of puppy loving you ever saw
[Chorus]
It's called a dog's life
What a life, that's good enough for me
You heard me say it now
That's good enough for me
That's good enough for me

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
