Well, I got a little dance to tell you about

A dance to make you bark, not scream and shout

You ask what kind of dance can it possibly be

I'll show you with the kids and Barkley



It's called the dog

(Ruff, ruff)

Yeah, get down on all fours and do the dog

(Ruff, ruff)

Now scoot around on the floor and do the dog

(Ruff, ruff)

Pretend your name is Rover

And when you do the dog, you gotta roll over



Now pretend that you're a dog and that you have fur

But you're not a cat, so don't meow or purr

Just sound like a doggie and you'll have fun

You can bark, bark, bark 'till this song is done



And do the dog

(Ruff, ruff)

You can let out a growl and do the dog

(Ruff, ruff)

Now let me hear you howl and do the dog

(Ruff, ruff)

The dance that no one can match

Now pretend that you have fleas and scratch

Scratch, scratch



If you're feeling tired and pooped is what

You're getting

And you're not in the mood for any playing or petting

Just lay on down

But before your eyes are shut

Turn around three times

Like that great big mutt



And do the dog

(Ruff, ruff)

Ruff ruff ruff ruff

Do the dog

(Ruff, ruff)

Ruff ruff ruff ruff

Oh, do the dog

(Ruff, ruff)

Ruff ruff ruff ruff

Ruff ruff ruff ruff

Ruff ruff ruff ruff

Ruff ruff ruff ruff

Ruff ruff ruff ruff

Ruff!
