Pet Laughs: Listen To The Songs
9. O’ Little Dream of Alpha Dog
(Sung to the tune of “O Little Town of Bethlehem”)
O’ dreaming dog in slumberland, how still we see thee lie!
For in your deep and dream-filled sleep, you see your life go by
In your dog dreams you whineth, at every little sight
The hopes and fears of all your years, are in your dreams tonight
For in your dream you’re Alpha, and feared by all the pack
You run and play, and save the day, and fearlessly attack
O’ humans and the doggies proclaim you best of all
And if you wish to play and run, they’ll throw and throw the ball
With cunning speed and courage, you terrorize the cats
Those stuck up fleabags hiss and scratch—you laugh at their attacks
You plot and plan revenge so sweet, you chase them up a tree
In dreamland you indulge in cat games with impunity
You’re Alpha dog, eyes rolled back, you twitch and whoof and play
You relive all those fun filled hours of chasing squirrels today
At clanging bell, your humans rise, obligations they must meet
You circle and you plop back down, for another dream-filled sleep!
