I wanna be a boy
Born on the wrong end
Of the leash
I was a dreamer
And a little schemer
A simple mutt
Livin' a dog's life
But the bell for school
Would make me drool
Till I came up
With this clever ploy
Which is to say
Dressing like a boy
Now he things he can take
Other pets a peg down
Hey, I'm a dog who's learned
To keep his leg down
I got to be a boy
He's so over
Just being Rover
Got to be a boy
This teacher's pet
Thinks that he's a boy
He da bomb
He's a regular whiz kid
I want to have a dog
Hey, I'm off the leash now
He's eating quiche now
Got to be a boy
A boy and nothing but a boy
Nothing but a boy
Got to be a boy
Spot, you can fake it
But you'll never be a boy
But soft
Could what he says be true?
Is this really just a phase
I'm going through?
Shall I go back
To serving man?
Eat wholesome dinners
From a can?
Who needs French
And scoring goals?
Come on, let's bark
And dig some holes!
I've got to be a boy
He's got to be a boy
I've got to be
It's not to be
I long to be
You're wrong to be
It's great to be
Great trait to be
We hate to be
Can't wait to be
My mate to be
Too late to be
It's my fate to be
A boy!
A dog!
A boy!
A dog!
A boy!
A dog!
A boy!
Dog! Boy!
Boy! Dog!
Bo! Dog! Boy! Dog!
Boy! Dog!
Boy!
A boy needs a dog
I know it's been said
Everyone needs someone
A loyal companion
To share in life's fun
For a day at the park
Or a game of leapfrog
A friend needs a friend
A boy needs a dog
A whole bunch of world
There's a whole buncha
World in our backyard
An awful lotta world to see
Alabama, Alaska
Arizona, Arkansas
And now the states
That start with C and D
California, Colorado
And Connecticut
Dear Delaware
The very first state, oh
Florida and Georgia
Hawaii, Idaho
Where they grow
A lotta trout and potato
Right smack in the middle
Little Illinois
Indiana and Iowa, too
There's Kansas and Kentucky
And way down South
Louisiana
It's shaped like a shoe
And still a lotta states
To do, whew!
Eight states start with M
Now let's name them
Maine, Maryland
And Massachusetts
Mich, Minnesota
Mississippi, show me MO
Montana, now we're
More than halfway through
Nebraska, Nevada
And the New's
Hampshire, Jersey, Mexico
And York
Now the North's
Carolina and Dakota
Where Sacagawea
Guided Lewis and Clark
Ohio, Oklahoma and Oregon
Pennsylvania, where they
Wrote the Constitution
Little Rhode Island
And South Carolina
Where the rebels
Tried to start a revolution
South Dakota, Tennessee
And next to Mexico
Texas
Where they have a lotta cows
Utah, green Vermont
And ol' Virginny
Where George Washington
Took his first bow, wow!
We're all the way to W now
Washington, West Virginia
And Wisconsin
I don't know
How much higher I can sing
But that's okay
'Cause we've gone
All the way
From Alabama to Wyoming
From Alabama to Wyoming!
Hey!
Small, but mighty
Small but mighty
Small but mighty
When you're powerful
And wise
You can rise above any size
If you belittle being little
Then your quest
Is doomed to fail
But when you're small
But mighty
The mighty shall prevail
Small but mighty
Small but mighty
When you're powerful
And wise
You can rise above any size
If you belittle being little
Then your quest
Is doomed to fail
But when you're small
But mighty
When you're small but mighty
The mighty shall prevail!
I, Ivan Krank
I was born with a brain
That could not be contained
So they tortured
And teased me
And called me insane
It was bad, very bad
Even Mom called me mad
Any child would go wild
From the pain
Crazed with rage
And defiance
I turned my cerebrum
To science
I tinkered and toiled
Till my beakers all boiled
And I built
This amazing appliance
Now the whole world will see
The genius in me
For I stand
On the shoulders of giants
I am I, Ivan Krank
Just a man
Way ahead of his time
Allow me to be frank
I'm much hipper
Than old Dr. Frankenstein
I am I, Ivan Krank
And you may call me
Wacko or weird
But you'll have me to thank
When this pup
That you reared
Is no longer wet-nosed
Waggy-tailed or dog-eared
He'll be human
Like you, man
The world will all cheer
For the genius
That is I
Ivan Krank!
Take the money and run
Oh, money may be
The root of all evil
Money
It might not buy you love
Money won't bring you
Happiness
Or grow new hair
Or cure your stare
Or get you
To the pearly gates above
But there's a bunch
Of things money can do
Put a shirt on your back
And a shine on your shoe
When the cash shows up
I don't say boo
I take the money and run
'Cause love can't buy
A fancy car
Or fill your tank
If you want the finer things
You better break the bank
'Cause if there's one
Sure thing money can do
Put the pedal to the metal
When the rent comes due
When the money shows up
Baby, don't say boo
Just take the money and run
Oh, yeah
Take the money and run
Go, man
Get your stash
Grab your cash
Take the money and run
I'm movin' on

It's time for me to go
Oh me, oh my, oh no
I've never been so low
Oh, where did my dog-man…
Go!
I gotta go
I don't know where
I only know my former friend
Is now my foe
He couldn't stand
The status quo
I said I'd stay
But he said no
And now doggone
This dog is gone
I'm moving on
I gotta go
Like a dream, he was here
And now he's gone
He drank my coffee
Ate my candy
Dreaming I could stand
By my Manly Manning man
I thought everything
Was fine and dandy
I'm gone
Don't go
Oh, no, what have I done?
Oh, no
I kicked him out
He took the keys to freedom
Now he's going
Now he's going
Now he's gone
My lovely dog-man
Oh, precious, pretty dog-man
Dear itty-bitty dog
I made a man
Where have you gone?
He took the keys
To my success
I'm no one's pawn
He's gone
Was I a yawn?
I'm moving on
Find him!
Where did you go, dog-man?
Where did you go
Where you have gone, Spot
We gotta know, dog-man
We wanna know
Where have you gone, Scott
We gotta go there, too
I'm gone
He's going, going
He's gone
He's going, going
I'm moving on
He's moving on
Pardon the pun
But I am going
Without knowing
There's a place
Where I belong
Where he's gone
I'm moving on!
Where did you go dog-man?
He's gone
Scott, Spot, Scott, Spot
He's gone
A dog needs a boy
I know it's been said
Everyone needs someone
A loyal companion
To share in life's fun
For a day at the park
Or a game of leapfrog
A friend needs a friend
A boy needs a dog
A small hand to shake
Want to run a race?
For a bowl full of grub
What a funny face
A face to be licked
When a tummy gets rubbed
Like a mom and a dad
Need their bundle of joy
A friend needs a friend
A dog needs a boy
I can't go on
With just half of my heart
Nothing and no one
Can keep us apart
It's a permanent bond
We can never destroy
A friend needs a friend
A friend needs a friend
I've got to get back
Needs a boy!
Needs a dog!
Proud to be a dog
A friend needs a friend
A friend needs a friend
A boy needs a
Back on the south end
Of the leash
Is where my place is
Chasing balls
And licking faces
A simple mutt
Livin' a dog's life
Now I'm in the thrall
Of nature's call
It's my destiny
To be man's best friend
And to butt
Your own rear end
And so it's bye-bye
To species second-guessin'
This Rover's
Learned his lesson
I'm proud to be a dog
The creed of Fido
Can't be denied, oh
Glad to be a dog
A dog, and nothin' but a dog
A dog's what he must be
I'll be spot-on
With his pants not on
Because at last I see
That a tree needs a log
And a sow needs a hog
Just like London needs fog
Or a princess a frog
Well, a friend needs
A friend
A road needs a bend
A film needs an end
A boy needs a dog
Needs a boy
Needs a dog, needs a boy
Needs a dog
Needs a boy, needs a dog
Boy, dog, boy, dog, boy, dog
Dog!
