Lyrics
A Dog’s Day Neihart/Svendsen ‘25 Walking in the park On a summers day Scooby-Doing down the sidewalk In my Special Way I’ve got all four paws clickin I’m wagging my tail Felling like a fabulous model Strutting down the fashion trail I’m pulling hard against my chain It puts a strain upon My doggy brain. I’m keeping up the rhythm My heads held high My slobbering tongue Is hanging jingle jangle from the side Ah, it’s a dog’s day years and years I’m in this park Then we go as it gets dark On no now I sleeping all alone And im borrified (bored + horrified) till you get up And everything is fine Squirrell! I’m a dog Walking in the park With an obvious edge Of great pizazz and spark The World’s my oyster I’m king of the hill If I spot my gal FeeFee I’m going in for the thrill I can hear your jangly keys At the Door can I go please Oh no, Now I’m home all alone I’m horrified till you get home Now everything is fine SQUIRREL!

A Dog’s Day Walking in the park On a summers day Scooby-Doobing down the sidewalk In my Special Way I’ve got all four paws clickin I’m wagging my tail Like a fabulous model Strutting down the catwalk trail I’m pulling hard against my chain Alert to the presence our my enimies My coat is shining, My head’s held high My sloberring tounge Is hanging jingle jangle from the side Ah, it’s a dogs day I can here the sound of keys Open Doors can I go please Oh no, Now I’m here all alone I’m horrified till you get home Now everything is fine SQUIRREL! Walking in the Park on a summers day Scooby-Doobin down the sidewalk In my special way The world’s my oyster, I’m king of the hill Ah, it’s a dogs day Take me out and throw my ball Oh no, Now I’m here all alone I’m horrified till you get home Now everything is fine SQUIRREL!
