Go On Home Doggie

(Tune: Gimme Three Steps)

Well I was riding my bike with a girl that I like

On a route that usually do

When a big German shepherd with the speed of a leopard

Came a-chasing after you know who

He barked, Hey bike rider, I'm a rabid biter

And I'm looking for something to chew

And you're on my street and I want something to eat

And I'm thinking it's gonna be you

Well I was skeered and fearin for my life

I was shaking like a leaf on a tree

Cause He was barking and growling and licking his chops

Cutting in front of me

I said, Hey there puppa it ain't time for suppa

Do I look like Purina to you?

And there's a time for chow but that time ain't now

So I'm askin one favor from you

Why don't you go home doggie

Won’t ya go home doggie

Why don’t you go and leave me alone

Go on home doggie

Won’t ya go home doggie

Won’t ya go and chew on your bone

Well, my girl had enough of that dog who said "ruff"

And headed straight toward that mean old mutt

And she screamed and yelled like a bat out of well

Saying, dog, I'm gonna kick your tail!

Well old Fido said, Ruh Roh I think I better go home

Crazy lady's gonna do me in

And runnin down the street, its tail between its feet

A well, it never bothered us agin

Why don't you go home doggie

Won’t ya go home doggie

Why don’t you go and leave me alone

Go on home doggie

Won’t ya go home doggie

Won’t ya go and chew on your bone
