It’s “Ruff” Being a Dog - Phyllis Wolfe
They say Gdogs have it easy, they sAay dogs have it good,
but I Dwould like to see a human try it if they cGould.
You haGve to fetch the paper, you caAnnot chew the rug,
and wDhatever you do, don’t let them see those ten foot holes you’ve Gdug.  DOh, whoa it’s..
Refrain:
GRuff, ruff, ruff, ruff being a dog, eating dAinner out of a can.
Oh, please tDake me to a restaurant to have steak just like a Gman.
Oh, whoa, it’s Gruff, ruff, ruff, ruff being a dog, You nAever get to drive the car.
You can’t sleep Don the bed, they don’t like it when you shed. It’s gone doggone too Gfar!
Ar, ar, ar, aroo!
[verse 2]
They Gname you things like Fido, like RAover or Fifi.
I guDess those names sound good to them, but it’s embarrassing to Gme. 
They Gsay, “Don’t chase the mailman or Amake the kitties squeak.”
You Dcan’t beg at the table, and they bathe you once a Gweek. DOh Whoa it’s…       To Refrain
[Bridge]
Ruff, ruff, ruff, ruff, ruff, ruff, ruff
We muGst respect our puppy pals, those fine four-footed hounds
who fCought the fight for doggy rights to kGeep us from the pDound. Like SGnoopy and Lassie
and Rin Tin Tin and HB7uckleberry EmHound, a Amdog is Dmy best Gfriend. But still it’s…
[To Refrain (without howls at the end)]
