If I Was A Dog Chords & Lyrics - Gordon Bok

[INTRO]
[D]

[VERSE]
If I was a dog I'd [A]wag me tail, I'd [G]sit me [D]down be[A]side the [D]fire
And the girls could pat me [A]on the back or [G]anyplace [D]else their [A]heart would de[D]sire
I wouldn't be after [A]chasing cats, I [D]wouldn't go baying [A]at the moon
I [D]wouldn't have time for [A]things like that, if [G]I was a dog, what [A]I'd be [D]doing

[CHORUS]
Oh-[G]ho, oh-[A]ho, if [D]I was a dog I'd [G]have me [A]day
Oh-[G]ho, oh-[A]ho, wouldn't [D]I be [A]wagging me [D]tail

[VERSE]
If I was a dog I'd [A]eat of the best and [G]only the [D]best that [A]money could [D]buy
I'd go down to the butcher's [A]shop and I'd [G]lick the [D]leg of the [A]butcher's [D]wife
I'd be dining on [A]filet mignons and [D]pelican fingers and [A]lobster fins
And [D]delicate frogs, if [A]I was a dog, I [G]wouldn't go rooting in [A]nobody's [D]bins

[CHORUS]
Oh-[G]ho, oh-[A]ho, if [D]I was a dog I'd [G]have me [A]day
Oh-[G]ho, oh-[A]ho, wouldn't [D]I be [A]wagging me [D]tail

[VERSE]
I wouldn't be after [A]chasing sheep, I [G]wouldn't be [D]after [A]hunting [D]hares
I'd prefer to be [A]home in me sleep or [G]digging a [D]hole to [A]god knows [D]where
I wouldn't be after [A]pulling the sled like [D]huskies up in the Yukon [A]do
[D]I'd prefer to be [A]home in me bed with a [G]Pekinese, Poodle or [A]Kerry [D]Blue

[CHORUS]
Oh-[G]ho, oh-[A]ho, if [D]I was a dog I'd [G]have me [A]day
Oh-[G]ho, oh-[A]ho, wouldn't [D]I be [A]wagging me [D]tail

[VERSE]
And woe betide the [A]fool that tried to [G]spay the [D]wife or [A]neuter [D]me
Before I'd let him a[A]way with [G]that, by [D]god I'd [A]show me pedi[D]gree
I'd put up a [A]hell of a fight and [D]wouldn't that be a [A]sight to see
Just [D]one strategic [A]nip, the neute[G]rer becoming the [A]neute[D]ree

[CHORUS]
Oh-[G]ho, oh-[A]ho, if [D]I was a dog I'd [G]have me [A]day
Oh-[G]ho, oh-[A]ho, wouldn't [D]I be [A]wagging me [D]tail

[VERSE]
And sooner or later I'd [A]father a litter and [G]teach the [D]little ones [A]how to [D]be
If any of them tried to get [A]smart, begod, I'd [G]chase the [D]lot of 'f#m[A] up a[D] tree
So if you're walking a[A]long the street and an [D]elegant dog you [A]happen to see
[D]Steppin' it out, give [A]us shout, you [G]could be you and that [A]would be [D]me

[CHORUS]
Oh-[G]ho, oh-[A]ho, if [D]I was a dog I'd [G]have me [A]day
Oh-[G]ho, oh-[A]ho, wouldn't [D]I be [A]wagging me [D]tail

[CHORUS]
Singing, oh-[G]ho, oh-[A]ho, if [D]I was a dog I'd [G]have me [A]day
Oh-[G]ho, oh-[A]ho, wouldn't [D]I be [A]wagging me [D]tail
