Topic: "My Dog Loves Me This I Know"

Greetings!  I have been absent from the forum because of being way too busy at work.  Sorry for my absence, but I have been given some additional responsibilities that have me scrambling to keep up in the office.

I have finally gotten around to recording this goofy little ditty.  I started writing it a few years ago.  Verses will continue to be added as they come to mind.

The recording is gloriously 'raw & flawed' . . . but that is the best I can do with my limited time.  Also, the new MySpace Music player is still full of nasty bugs.

Please hear it here:

My Dog Loves Me, This I Knowby, James McCormick, started years ago & still in process


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




[D]My dog loves me, this I know, [G]For his wagging [D]tells me so


[D]Floppy ears drooly mouth, He [G]likes to [D]sleep u-[A]pon the [D]couch.


[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, When [G]thunder [D]booms, he [A]runs and [D]hides.




[D]My dog is a fearsome beast, Up-[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.


[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, be-[G]cause I [D]am his [A]favorite [D]toy.


[D]My dog likes to bark and howl, [G]Likes to snarl and [D]likes to growl.


[D]He really is a savage soul, 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.




[D]My dog likes to lick my face, [G]Sheds 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.




For [D]all the years we have been wed, [G]Our dog takes up [D]half the bed.


[D]My wife and I just move aside, It's [G]like we [D]share a [A]canine [D]bride.


[D]My dog likes to walk with me, To [G]find that perfect [D]place to pee.


The [D]neighborhood has lots of posts, [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 [G]special [D]Frisbee [A]thera-[D]py.





My[D] puppy's cute but he can't read, The [G]paper's just a [D]place to pee.


[D]All the news he really needs, Is [G]wafting [D]by u-[A]pon the [D]breeze.




[D]My dog used to be a stray, I [G]met him on the [D]road one day.


[D]Skin and bones and full of ticks, the [G]vet bill [D]nearly [A]made me [D]sick.


[D]My dog likes to sleep and snore, [G]twitches all a-[D]round the floor.


[D]In his dreams he is so vain, He-[G]roic [D]visions [A]fill his [D]brain.


chorus


[D]My dog eats with great gusto, [G]licks up stuff right [D]off the flo'.


His [D]appetite is quite absurd, He [G]gobbles [D]down the [A]kitty [D]turds.




[D]My dog is a smelly cur, [G]Full of yuck and [D]matted fur,


He [D]really needs to get a bath, But [G]shampoo [D]just pro-[A]vokes his [D]wrath.




[D]My dog must have ADD, But [G]he is very [D]sweet to me


[D]I know why he is insane, He [G]is all [D]heart, no [A]room for [D]brains


[D]My dog is the boss of me, He [G]is in charge it's [D]plain to see


[D]Just because he loves me so, He [G]tells me [D]what I [A]need to [D]know


chorus


[D]My dog was a highway hound, [G]When we met he [D]was southbound


I [D]pulled aside picked him up, [G]Now he [D]is a [A]family [D]pup




[D]My dog is a great big wuss, [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


[D]My dog loves me, this I know, [G]For his wagging [D]tells me so


[D]Floppy ears drooly mouth, He [G]likes to [D]sleep u-[A]pon the [D]couch.


[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!
