Sign my snarling doggy -- do it for me

Sign my snarling doggy -- or your knee is his tree

Look -- his tail is waggin'

Ya see he's really friendly

Rover and I walked up to Mickey Mantle at the autograph fest

Of all the greats who ever played, I was sure I liked him... the best

I asked him if he'd sign my glove -- he said there was a fee

I guess he needs the money -- I thought it would be free

OK, I said I'll pay you sir, but I have just one request

Please inscribe your name right here on Rover's hairy chest



Sign my snarling doggy -- do it for me

Sign my snarling doggy -- or your knee is his tree

Look -- his tail is waggin'

Ya see he's really friendly

Sign my snarling doggy -- sign my snarling doggy



Rover has a lot of teeth in those grinning jaws

But he's had his shots and his nails are clipped

And we always observe -- the leash laws

He's really friendly with children, no... really

I've never seen him act this way before... down boy!

It must be you that makes him tense who makes him lunge and snap

Please sit there very still and let him drool into your lap



Sign my snarling doggy -- do it for me

Sign my snarling doggy -- or your knee is his tree

Look -- his tail is waggin'

Ya see he's really friendly

Hey Mr. Mantle:

How much would you charge to be taught to fetch

To roll over and play dead?

Maybe you just need a two by four

Laid upside your head?... 'cause Rover ain't been fed



When ya' walk to first walk softly, be careful with that stick

Keep it out of sight or Rover will do... his trick

Lay the bat down slow, don't act like you're gonna throw

Your pen's run dry -- here take my Bic -- cause Rover's ready to lick!



Sign my snarling doggy -- do it for me

Sign my snarling doggy -- or your knee is his tree

Look -- his tail is waggin'

Ya see he's really friendly
