On The Prospective Acquisition of a Pet

or

Bobby Goosey Needs a Dog

 

Everybody’s got a doggie,

A bow-wow doggie,

A wow-bow,

Arf and arfing

Woofy-woof hound.

All the world’s got a doggie,

A bow-wow doggie;

But old Bobby ain’t no doggie don’t got.

 

Everybody and his buddy’s got

A tail-wagging doggie,

A smiley-eyed doggie,

A tongue-drooling doggie.

Bobby needs a smiley-eyed

Tail-flapping doggie;

Old Bobby ain’t no doggie

Don’t got.

 

Got to get old Bobby,

Smiley-eyed Bobby,

Wrinkle-butted Bobby,

Got to get old Bobby,

Creaky-boned Bobby,

A slobber-drooling doggie,

A barky-wark doggie,

A wow-bow doggie,

 

Got to get old Bobby,

Old tail-dragging Bobby,

Snaggle-toothed Bobby,

Slobber-drooling Bobby

The doggie that

Old Bobby don’t

Got.

Arf.
