I Wanna Be A Dog (Dog Breath)
(source: I originally learned this song as "Dog Breath", but it is actually called "I Wanna Be A Dog" by Barry Louis Polisar. It can be found in "Rise Up Singing", by Peter Blood and Annie Patterson, 1992.)

Chorus:

Oh, I wanna have dog breath (pant, pant)

I wanna learn to growl (grrr)

Scratch fleas and ticks, chase after sticks,

I want the moon to make me howl! (HOWL)

Oh, I wanna be a dog

I wanna lay on the floor

Chase cats, get fed, get pats on the head

Chew your shoes and bark at the door!

Oh, I wanna be a dog

I wanna wag my tail

Chase cars and trucks, knock over garbage cans

And bite the lady who brings the mail!

Oh, I wanna be a dog

I want a big wet nose

I wanna run on the street, muddy my feet,

And jump all over your clothes!

Oh, I wanna be a dog

I want to dig big holes

I want to sniff French poodles and basset hounds

And pee on telephone poles!

Oh, I wanna be a dog

I wanna lay on the ground

Bein' human these days is gettin' crazy

And I just want to be a hound!
