Gonna Buy Me a Dog

Now?

You know my girl⁠— Now?

Now?

You know my girl just called me up

And she woke me from my sleep

You should have heard the things she said

You know she hurt my feelings deep

I'm gonna buy me a dog

(A dog?)

A dog

(Why?)

Why?

'Cause I need a friend now

Babe, you need all the friends you can get. I'm tellin' ya

I'm gonna buy me a dog

My girl, my girl, no love me no how

Don't ruin my song, man. It's the only song I have

Well it's already ruined before it was wrote

Uh, where's the verse? She used to bring me my

My newspapers

(You don't even know where it's at)

'Cause she knew where it was at

She used to keep me so contented

But I can teach a dog to do that!

I'm gonna buy me a dog

You couldn't teach a dog to do that, you can only train elephants

'Cause I need a friend now

(I need a friend now)

Now

(Yeah)

I'm gonna buy me a dog

(A dog. Here, Rover, Fido, Spot)

My girl, my girl, no love me no how

One

Three

(Four. Six. Eight. Nine) One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, hike!

Hike!

Hike!

I was late on that one. I just got back from Africa, you know, I was playing cards with the natives

Oh, Zulus?

No, I usually won. Ah-ah

Gee, I wish I had a glass of water

Why, you thirsty?

No, I wanna see if my neck leaks

I'd buy a raccoon, but John already has one

35 bucks

Where do I come in?

Get ready

Get ready, uh

I'm gonna buy me a dog (Dog!)

A dog, hmm (Yeah!)

'Cause I need a friend now (Yeah, yeah)

Yeah, boop-boop-sh-bop-bop ram-a-lama

I'm gonna buy me a dog

Try the next verse

When my girl

My girl don't love me no how

How

Now brown cow (How now brown cow)

I think I’m gonna buy me a dog. Yes sir, I’m gonna buy me a dog. If I was looking for a word to describe what I’m gonna buy, I think "dog" would be the word! (Would it... would it be "dog"?)

It would be "dog"

Definitely "dog"

It would come springing from my lips... "dog"!

Springing from—

Boing! Boing! Boing! (Let’s get out of here, come on)

It would be springing from my—

Is that it, Tommy? Can you turn it off, please? Can somebody open the door and let us out?

They’re coming to take us away, ha-ha, hee-hee, ha-ha
