G7                       
Chase cars and knock over garbage cans, 
                             C
Bite the man who brings the mail.

              C                     F
I wanna be a dog, wanna lie on the floor,
         G7
Chase squirrels and cats, get fed, get fat, 
                                C       C7
Chew your shoe and bark at the door.

[Chorus]
                 F                               C
Oh I wanna have dog breath... I wanna learn to growl....
          D7
Scratch fleas and ticks, and run after sticks
             G      D7      G
I want the moon to make me howl....

[Verse 2]
N.C.          C                   F
I wanna be a dog, wanna dig big holes,
        G7 
Sniff trees and ground and basset hounds
                       C         C7
And pee on telephone poles.

N.C.          C                   F
I wanna be a dog, wanna roll in the dirt,
       G7 
Wanna run in the street, get mud on my feet
                       C         C7
And jump up onto your shirt.

[Verse 3]
N.C.          C                   F
I wanna have dog breath, wake the neighbors too.
      G7 
I'll lick your hand, be the best friend to man;
                       C         C7
I've got nothing better to do.

N.C.          C                   F
I wanna be a dog, I want my nose to be wet.
     G7 
I've got a college degree now all I wanna be
                       C         C7
Is somebody else's pet.
