Lyrics
Verse 1
Six A.M., the sun's in my eyes
The giant lump in the bed starts to rise
But not fast enough, so I give it a lick
(slurp, slurp)
That oughta do the trick!
They stumble downstairs, they open the door
I pee on the thing I peed on before
They pour out my breakfast, those boring brown rocks
While they eat the bacon! It's a paradox!
Pre-Chorus
They grab the shiny things, they jingle and jangle!
My tail starts to wag at a dangerous angle!
They put on their shoes, they pick up the leash!
My brain starts to short-circuit, I let out a screech!
(Aaaarrrooooo!)
Chorus
Oh, they feed me the kibble, they call me so cute
Then get mad when I'm chewing the leg of a boot!
They scratch my good spot and they rub on my chin
Then get upset when I roll in... Hey what's that smell? ...what's that bin?!
It's a crazy, confusing, incredible scene
Living life with a two-legged food machine!
Post-Chorus
BALL! BALL! GIMME, GIMME, GIMME GIMME!
(WOOF, WOOF!)
BALL! BALL! GIMME, GIMME, GIMME GIMME!
(WOOF, WOOF!)
Verse 2
The door just shut! The worst sound I know!
I'll just lay by the window and watch the leaves blow...
Wait... is that... THE CAR?! THEY'RE BACK! IT'S BEEN YEARS!
I'll greet them with jumping and licking their tears!
We go to the park, there's a million new smells
And stories that every new fire hydrant tells!
Oh look, it's my nemesis, grey, mean, and furry...
SQUIRREL! I must end him, I'm off in a hurry!
Pre-Chorus
My human is yelling some sounds with my name!
But the thrill of the chase is a powerful game!
They finally catch me, my leash gets a tug
They look kinda mad, but I just want a hug!
Chorus
Oh, they feed me the kibble, they call me so cute
Then get mad when I'm chewing the leg of a boot!
They scratch my good spot and they rub on my chin
Then get upset when I roll in... Hey what's that smell? ...what's that bin?!
It's a crazy, confusing, incredible scene
Living life with a two-legged food machine!
Post-Chorus
BALL! BALL! GIMME, GIMME, GIMME GIMME!
(WOOF, WOOF!)
BALL! BALL! GIMME, GIMME, GIMME GIMME!
(WOOF, WOOF!)
Bridge
The day is all done, the lights are turned low
They're staring at that hypnotic bright glow
(What is that rectangle? Can I eat it?)
I'll rest my big head on a comfortable knee
And hope that a crumb might fall down just for me
They whisper the words that I know to be true:
"Who's a good boy?"
I know the answer. I do.
Chorus
Oh, they feed me the kibble, they call me so cute
Then get mad when I'm chewing the leg of a boot!
They scratch my good spot and they rub on my chin
Then get upset when I roll in... Hey what's that smell? ...what's that bin?!
It's a crazy, confusing, incredible scene
Living life with a two-legged food machine!
Post-Chorus / Outro
BALL! BALL! GIMME, GIMME, GIMME GIMME!
(WOOF, WOOF!)
WALK! WALK! GIMME, GIMME, GIMME GIMME!
(WOOF, WOOF!)
TREAT! TREAT! GIMME, GIMME, GIMME GIMME!
(WOOF, WOOF!)
TREAT! TREAT! GIMME, GIMME, GIMME GIMME!
(WOOF, WOOF!)
...was that the cheese wrapper?
