Mom and Dad
Can´t you see we´re sad?
Pining away for a canine
Wow is me
Oh the misery
We´d like a dog
We lack a dog
Alas! Alack-a-dee!

Chorus:
Desperate
Desperate for a dog
We´re just desperate for a dog!
Give us a puppy!
Not a gerbil or a frog
We´re just desperate for a dog!
Give us a pooch!

A kid´s best friend
To romp and frisk and bark
Lick your nose, shed on your clothes
Chase a frisbee in the park

Desperate
Desperate for a dog
We´re just desperate for a dog!

We´ve asked you politely
For a year or two
You always say we´ll see about it
Then you never do
Our friends all have got dogs
How do you thing we feel?
What´s the big deal?
A collie or a dalmatian
A poodle or an Alsatian
Maltese, Pekinese
Please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please!

Chorus

We´re begging!!!
Keep your hamster and your hog
We´re just desperate for a dog!

It´s no big thing
Any mutt will do
Let´s trot to the pound, pick out a hound
Find a shoe for him to chew

Chorus
