Pet Laughs: Listen To The Songs

8. We Three Dogs Escape the Backyard

(Sung to the tune of “We Three Kings of Orient Are”)
We three dogs escape the backyard

Finally free we travel afar
Playing, marking, mounting, barking
Dodging the swerving cars

O’ brutes of wonder, brutes of might

Dauntless courage, full of fight

We of legend, independent
Howling in the perfect night

On the lam, three dogs in a pack

Running low, we hunt for a snack

Tummies grumbling, now we’re mumbling

Where is that dog food sack?

O’ dogs so playful, dogs so fun

Dogs like us can jump and run

Have no regrets, worries or frets

Taking each day one by one

Whose that man who’s trailing us three?

He’s not nice, we hightail and flee

Hiding, sneaking, cringing meekly

No longer are we free

O’ doggies trembling, full of fear

Now we’re on the verge of tears

Chains a-choking, now we’re moping

Doggies we’re so sweet and dear

Sad eyes peering through a locked gate

Doggie jail, oh, hideous fate

Whimpering, whining, crying, sighing

Now we’re locked into crates

O’ puppies lonely, puppies scared

Now we crave our humans’ care

Eyes so pleading, we’re so needing

We’ll be good, we do declare

Our humans come to rescue us three

They seem mad, oh how can it be?

Give us din din—we’re forgiven

Back in our home safely

O’ brutes of wonder, brutes of might

Dauntless courage, full of fight

We of legend, independent
Howling in the perfect night
