        It must be nice to have a home
        that always stays under your feet
        that can always be depended on
        one place to eat and sleep

        How nice it must be to have a rug
        on which to stretch your legs
        a T-bone steak beside me
        I want to be a dog

        It must be nice to have a home
        A place that you can trust
        it stays forever in one spot
        and never moves about

        How nice it is to have a fire lit
        and stretch out on a rug
        a meaty bone next to my nose
        I want to be a dog

        I want to be a dog
        I want to be a dog
        With a T-bone in my paws
        I want to be a dog
