Viewing lyrics for The Dog Song by Wally Cox.

I don’t know where to run to
And I don’t know where to hide
But I can hear your angry barking
And I ain’t gonna go outside

Rooting in my backyard
I’m scared that you’re at my door
Threatening, howling, snuffing and growling
I don’t want you here no more

Hey, getonouttahere
Now get back in your own yard
I said hey, getonouttahere
Now get back in your own yard

They say your bark is bigger than your bite
But I ain’t gonna be the one to find out
I can hear you digging for a bone
Who said I’d be your puppy dog chow

I heard your teeth are sharper than a knife
No way I want you gnawing on me
You think you can wander where you want
But I want you under lock and key

I said hey, getonouttahere
Now get back in your own yard
I said hey, getonouttahere
Now get back in your own yard

I wish I could find a stick
If I could I’d throw it over the fence
If I had all the money you are worth
What would I do with two cents

Why can’t you be a good little dog
Like Toto in the Wizard of Oz
You need to find something better to do
Why don’t you go chasing after cars

I said hey, getonouttahere
Now get back in your own yard
I said hey, getonouttahere
Now get back in your own yard
I said hey, getonouttahere
Now get back in your own yard
