Topic: "My Dog Loves Me"
Here is a fun little ditty based upon 'borrowed' chords and melody. As mentioned in recent discussions, sometimes the best way to "start" writing songs is with a ready-made melody&chord structure.
I started writing this song a couple of years ago. I add verses as they come to mind. It is based upon the old Sunday School song "Jesus Loves Me, This I Know". The chorus is a fun sing-along . . . try it out and have some fun!

To the tune of 'Jesus Loves Me, This I Know'

[D]My doggie [G]loves me, [D]I love my [A]doggie!
[D]We are so [G]happy, As [D]happy [A]as can [D]be!
[D]My dog begs for table scraps, [G]my dog likes to [D]sit on laps.
[D]My dog likes to go for rides, But when [G]thunder [D]booms, he [A]runs and [D]hides.
. . .chorus . . .
[D]My dog is a fearsome beast, [G]On the squirrels he [D]wants to feast.
[D]Chases critters up the trees, But [G]all he [D]catches [A]is more [D]fleas.
. . .chorus . . .
[D]My dog likes to run and play, He [G]guards the house while [D]I'm away.
When [D]I come home he jumps for joy, I [G]think I [D]am his [A]favorite [D]toy.
. . .chorus . . .
[D]My dog likes to bark and howl, [G]Likes to snarl and [D]likes to growl.
[D]In the yard he digs a hole, He [G]don't be-[D]lieve in [A]self-con-[D]trol.
. . .chorus . . .
[D]My dog likes to snort and sniff, [G]Of your butt he'll [D]take a whiff.
His [D]sense of smell is quite well honed, He's a [G]connois-[D]seur of [A]phero-[D]mones.
. . .chorus . . .
[D]My dog likes to lick my face, And [G]shed his hair a-[D]round the place.
[D]Vacuuming is such a chore, I [G]wish that [D]he would [A]lick the [D]floor.
. . .chorus . . .
For [D]all the years we have been wed, [G]Our dog takes up [D]half the bed.
[D]My spouse and I just move aside, It's [G]like we [D]share a [A]canine [D]bride.
. . .chorus . . .
[D]My dog likes to walk with me, And [G]find that perfect [D]place to pee.
The [D]neighborhood has lots of posts, Where [G]all the [D]dogs leave [A]Post-it-[D]Notes.
. . .chorus . . .
[D]My dog is good company,We [G]share the same phi-[D]losophy.
[D]When I'm sad he comforts me, With in-[G]tensive [D]Frisbee [A]thera-[D]py.
. . .chorus . . .
[D]My dog likes to chew on bones, He [G]doesn't need a [D]cellular phone.
[D]All the news he really needs, Comes [G]wafting [D]by u-[A]pon the [D]breeze.
. . .chorus . . .
[D]My dog used to be a stray, I [G]met him on the [D]road one day.
All [D]skin and bones and full of ticks, His [G]vet bill [D]nearly [A]made me [D]sick.
. . .chorus . . .
[D]My dog likes to drool and snore, He [G]twitches all a-[D]round the floor.
[D]While he dreams he is so vain, He-[G]roic [D]visions [A]fill his [D]brain.
. . .chorus . . .
[D]My dog eats with great gusto, He [G]licks up stuff right [D]off the flo'.
His [D]appetite is quite absurd, He'll [G]gobble [D]down a [A]kitty [D]turd.
. . .chorus . . .
[D]My dog is a smelly cur, [G]Full of fleas and [D]matted fur,
He [D]really needs a thorough bath, But [G]shampoo [D]just pro-[A]vokes his [D]wrath.
. . .chorus . . .

. . .chorus . . .
[D]My dog is a great big wuss, He's [G]terrified of [D]little puss
[D]When the cat comes in the room, [G]Out the [D]door my [A]dog will [D]zoom
