Well, I'd Cmuch rather C7have a Ffrog in my Cthroat
Or a Gporcupine stuck to my Cface
I'd Cmuch rather C7have a Fbug in my Cear
Than a Cdog hangin' 'Ground on my Cleg
Your Cgirl asked you home to meet mama and daddy
She Ctold them that she thinks you're Gnice
But there's Gtrouble ahead and you wish you was dead
If you don't take this friendly adCvice
CDon't pet the dog, don't pet him whatever you Gdo
‘Cause Ghe ain't been fixed, he knows some tricks
That'll sure make a fool out of Cyou
CDon't pet the dog, he gets it confused with roFmance
Don't Gtickle his sides or look deep in his eyes
Or he'll be taking your leg to the CdanceC7  
You Fsay it's ok, try to Cpush him away
What's his Gname? Does he sit up and Cbeg?C7  
You Ftry to be cool, but you Clook like a fool
With a D7dog hangin' 'round on your Gleg
CI've been to England, I met with the Queen
She served me biscuits and Gtea
She Ghad a Great Dane, I said, "Hey, what's his name?"
You know what the Queen said to Cme?
CDon't pet the dog, don't pet him whatever you Gdo
Don't Gtickle his sides or look deep in his eyes
Or he'll be making a fool out of Cyou
CDon't pet the dog, he gets it confused with roFmance
Don't Gtickle his sides or look deep in his eyes
Or he'll be taking your leg to the Cdance
CDon't Gpet the Cdog...
