Lyrics[edit]
It's a dog's life
And man, it's rough
It's a dog's life
I think I've had enough!
Both my hands have turned into feet!
I feel pretty weird
Walkin' down the street!
It's a dog's life
And man, it's rough
It's a dog's life
Ruff, ruff, ruff!
I'd much rather talk than growl
And I'd much rather yell than howl!
Bein' a bow-wow is hard to face
I want to be part of the human race!
It's a dog's life
And man, it's rough
It's a dog's life
I think I've had enough!
Both my hands have turned into feet!
I feel pretty weird
Walkin' down the street!
It's a dog's life!
Ruff, ruff, ruff!
It's... a dog's... life! (Ahoo-hoo-hoo!)
