In the Doghouse by Girard
In the Doghouse
Verse 1:
Woke up this morning, what did I find?
My favorite shoes were chewed up, oh, that pup of mine.
Mud on the carpet, fur on the chair,
And a guilty look that said, “Hey, I didn’t mean to, I swear!”
Pre-Chorus:
You’ve got that wagging tail, and those puppy eyes,
But this time, boy, you can’t disguise.
You’ve had your fun, now it’s time to pay,
You’re in the doghouse, and that’s where you’ll stay!
Chorus:
In the doghouse, oh, what did you do?
You made a mess, and now I’m lookin’ at you.
In the doghouse, better learn real fast,
That a little bit of trouble sure don’t last!
Verse 2:
Caught you digging up the yard, dirt flying everywhere,
The garden’s gone, but you don’t seem to care.
And that steak I was saving, where did it go?
You’ve got a guilty grin, and a wag that’s slow.
Pre-Chorus:
You’re a rascal, you’re a little rogue,
But I can’t stay mad at that furry nose.
Still, you’ve gotta learn, and you’ve gotta behave,
So in the doghouse, you’re gonna have to stay!
Chorus:
In the doghouse, oh, what did you do?
You made a mess, and now I’m lookin’ at you.
In the doghouse, better learn real fast,
That a little bit of trouble sure don’t last!
Bridge:
But when the day is done, and the night rolls in,
You curl up by my feet, with a sheepish grin.
You know I can’t resist, that face so sweet,
Even in the doghouse, you’ve got me beat.
Chorus:
In the doghouse, oh, what did you do?
You made a mess, but I still love you.
In the doghouse, it’s just a passing thing,
‘Cause with you, my friend, it’s always spring.
Outro:
So here’s to the trouble, and the fun you bring,
With every little mess, my heart’s still gonna sing.
In the doghouse or not, you’re my little clown,
Even when you’re up, and even when you’re down.
In the doghouse, but you’ll be out soon,
Back to waggin’ your tail, howlin’ at the moon!
