Shuffling down the street with his sideways feet,

Stopping now and then and he'll stop again,

No doubt in his mind where he's going



He doesn't care for his hair or his teeth

And if the truth were known he's a bit of a thief,

Innocently lies, and it's showing



Who'd imagine he's man's best friend.

Knowing he's your friend in the end.

Won't be around when you shout or swear

Not very sorry, he doesn't care;

God knows why we call him old faithful



Pat him on the head, give the dog a bone;

Use a friendly tone, he won't leave you alone.

No one understands like old faithful



Early rise. Is it wise?

Wonders happen now and then.

Eats his fill, time to kill,

Then goes back to sleep again.

Trusty slave, bold and brave,

And he roars like a lion

But in fact, it's an act,

And the truth is that he isn't

No one understands it's a dog's life



Chases dreams, so it seems

He shines in his master's light.

Looking good, so he should

For the choice is very narrow

No one understands it's a dog's life



Shuffling down the street with his sideways feet,

Stopping now and then and he'll stop again,

No doubt in his mind where he's going



He doesn't care for his hair or his teeth

And if the truth were known he's a bit of a thief,

Innocently lies, and it's showing
