I know you′re down and out
You don't even know how to spend a dime
I wish you could understand,
That I′d gladly lend a helping hand,
Oh, if I could, little buddy, don't you know I really would?
Livin' in a small apartment,
My landlord don′t allow no pets.
Little buddy, if I take you in my house,
You′re surely gonna put me out.
Way in the middle of the night,
You come a-scratchin' around my door
Waking me up from a deep deep sleep,
Just to serve you a bite to eat.
You′re just a happy little nobody's waggy tail dog,
Happy little nobody′s waggy tail dog,
Don't have a home, just lookin′ for a bone;
Everywhere I go, you're just tagging along.
Turning on my outside lights,
There you stand, a-wagging your tail
I bust out soul, put something in your bowl,
Just as much as your belly can hold;
And it's all because of you,
I don′t sleep like I used to do.
The alarm clock says it′s time to get going,
But I just lie there snoring.
You're just a happy little nobody′s waggy tail dog,
Happy little nobody's waggy tail dog,
Don′t have a home, just lookin' for a bone;
Everywhere I go, you′re just tagging along.
In the life you lived before,
You must have stayed with the king and queen,
But in this life today, I know,
You're the hungriest little dog I've seen;
Pretty soon, I′m gonna buy a home
Little buddy, I′m gonna take you in.
A place to lay your head,
And a yard where you can play in.
You're just a happy little nobody′s waggy tail dog,
Happy little nobody's waggy tail dog,
Ain′t got a home, always lookin' for a bone;
Everywhere I go, you′re just tagging along.
