It’s “Ruff” Being a Dog - Phyllis Wolfe
G A
They say dogs have it easy, they say dogs have it good,
D G
but I would like to see a human try it if they could.
G A
You have to fetch the paper, you cannot chew the rug,
D G D
and whatever you do, don’t let them see those ten foot holes you’ve dug. Oh, whoa it’s..
Refrain:
G A
Ruff, ruff, ruff, ruff being a dog, eating dinner out of a can.
D G
Oh, please take me to a restaurant to have steak just like a man.
G A
Oh, whoa, it’s ruff, ruff, ruff, ruff being a dog, You never get to drive the car.
D G
You can’t sleep on the bed, they don’t like it when you shed. It’s gone doggone too far!
Ar, ar, ar, aroo!
[verse 2]
G A
They name you things like Fido, like Rover or Fifi.
D G
I guess those names sound good to them, but it’s embarrassing to me.
G A
They say, “Don’t chase the mailman or make the kitties squeak.”
D G D
You can’t beg at the table, and they bathe you once a week. Oh Whoa it’s… To Refrain
[Bridge]
Ruff, ruff, ruff, ruff, ruff, ruff, ruff
G
We must respect our puppy pals, those fine four-footed hounds
C G D G
who fought the fight for doggy rights to keep us from the pound. Like Snoopy and Lassie
B7 Em Am D G
and Rin Tin Tin and Huckleberry Hound, a dog is my best friend. But still it’s…
[To Refrain (without howls at the end)]
[ending]
G (1) C D G
Ruff ruff, ruff, How!! (Ruff)
