I'm a French Bulldog Lyrics: ©TaylorBrown

Sitting on the couch watching the world go round
from my window, from my window
sometimes I feel like this house is like a cage that I cant escape
and it's got me trapped and I wanna open up the door but I can't
Because I don't have any thumbs and on a good day stand two foot one
and I cant reach the door nob even if I could my heads to big to balance on my back two legs
I tried to stand up straight, but then a car drove by and I chased it, yea I chased it
and thats when I remembered I'm a french bull dog
yea dont call me english, I'm a french bull dog
possibly one of the sweetest you've ever met a french bulldog
I've got to get at least 18 hours of sleep per day
and if you scratch me behind the ears I'll probably love you forever even though I'm not gay
I swear I'm not gay, yea I know what it looks like
yea I know that it looks that way but I swear Im not gay

Next time you think you've got it bad why don't you try to think a bit about me
a wild beast from the jungle at heart taken from my home and raised in captivity
I've never even met my dad, haven't seen my mom since I was only 6 weeks
and I'm fed the same damn thing every morning and night that lamb and rice don't taste nothing like meat
and if you think you can top that and still not complain and love the five dads you have all exactly the same, by licking their face and humping their legs and allowing them to give you best friend massages all day
but I'd be willing to bet a bag of bones that you have never ever been paid, to impregnate a girl because of what your papers say you fools have no idea exactly what it takes to be a french bull dog
yea dont call me english, I'm a french bull dog
guaranteed the sweetest you'll ever meet a french bulldog
I've got to get at least 18 hours of sleep per day
and if you scratch me behind the ears I'll probably love you forever even though I'm not gay
I swear I'm not gay, yea I know what it looks like
yea I know that it looks that way but I swear Im not gay
I'm a french bulldog, I might be a little small, but I swear I'm not gay,
I'm gonna take a nap, a nap is where its at
Whooaaaaaaa

Old Dog Song lyrics:

There is nothing like an old dog.
For a dog is man's best friend.
And somethin' 'bout an old dog
He'll stay with you till the end.
And when the chips are down
He'll always be by your side
And when there's no one around
He'll be there to save your price.

Chorus
Just an old
Always be your friend.
Just an old dog
With you till the end
With you till the end
Always be your friend
Just an old dog.

And when the sun don't shine
The woman you love
just gets up and leaves you
But that old dog by your side
Will always be

Chorus
Near you - always need you
Dog anything just to please you
Run a mile to be near you
That old just an old dog

And now you're on your own
That old dog has passed away and
May be yur love will come
Or maybe it won't its hard to say. 

Throw This Poor Dog A Bone by Memphis Slim | Dog Song Saturday

It seems to rain every single weekend this spring, so we're kicking off this weekend with some blues.  

 

Though this song is technically not about dogs, the lyrics are pretty clever for dog lovers.

 

Throw This Poor Dog A Bone is performed by blues legend Memphis Slim and available on (AmazonMP3 and iTunes)

The lyrics:

How come my dog's so calm
Man, whenever you're on the scene?
How come my dog's so calm
Man, whenever you're on the scene?
Man I just can't understand it
'Cause I know my dog is mean

Well, he bit my next door neighbor
Bit my father too
Growl at my mummy
Ate up my own shoe

How come my dog's so calm
Man, whenever you're on the scene?
Man I just can't understand it
'Cause I know my dog is mean

You've been coming around my house
When my wife is all alone
No, you don't know voodoo
My dog don't like no bone

How come my dog's so calm
Man, whenever you're on the scene?
Man I just can't understand it
'Cause I know my dog is mean

Well, I've got a good watch dog
With me he never failed
But every time you come around, boy
He just sit and wag his tail

How come my dog's so calm
Man, whenever you're on the scene?
Man I just can't understand it
'Cause I know my dog is mean

Now, he can see like an owl
He can hear you drop a pin
But what I want to know, boy
How the hell, did you get in?

How come my dog's so calm
Man, whenever you're on the scene?
Man I just can't understand it
'Cause I know my dog is mean

Dog Songs: I Love My Dog by Cat Stevens

All of us at For Love of a Dog Jewelry love songs about dogs.  Cat Stevens has written and performed some incredible music, but our recent favorite is:   I Love My Dog.   "I love my dog as much as I love you..."  Great lyrics and lovely melody.  Grab a dog.  Sit.  Stay.  Relax and enjoy a great dog song.

Summer Pleasures Songs about Dogs

It is hot.  No, I mean really hot.  Heat index well over 100 degrees every day.   Our senior canines, Tucker and Lucy, manage to run their patrol route around the yard very slowly venturing from shady spot to shady spot.  Jeffie ignores the heat for the most part, but has decided his favorite yard spot in under the (big) mimosa.  Of course, they, like we humans are staying inside in the a.c. as much as possible.


One of our indoor pleasures is to take the time to relax and resume our search for songs about dogs.  I know, it sounds crazy, but we like songs about dogs.  In fact, each of our dogs has it's own song... except Jeffie.  Most of them are pretty silly.  But we sing them and remember old friends who've long since crossed the rainbow bridge. 

Browsing the web gives us inspiration and I predict that soon, very soon, Jeffie will have his own song.  In the meantime, we feel like sharing one of our favorite dog songs.  Nellie McKay's Dog Song is just plain fun and promotes the excellent idea of rescuing a dog from prison (a shelter).  Our dogs love the panting and barking!
