Jimmy Lee Hook & The Long Island Sound

Lyrics

Verse:
He gets up in the morning and I think he wants to eat.
I try to give him breakfast but instead he licks my feet.
His head is out the window when we’re driving down the street.
If only my dog could talk.

Chorus:
How does he know when someone’s there before they even knock?
Why does he like old underwear? If only my dog could talk.

Verse:
He loves to chase the frisbee but he will not bring it back.
He drinks a ton of water just before he hits the sack.
He walks along the sidewalk but he won’t step on a crack.
If only my dog could talk.

Chorus:
Why does he roll upside down just before we take a walk?
When it’s time for a bath he’s nowhere around. If only my dog could talk.
If only my dog could talk.

Chorus:
If only my dog could tell me things, I’m sure it would be a shock.
Like how he knows who it is when the cell phone rings, if only my dog could talk.
If only my dog could talk.

Verse:
He likes to watch the television after he’s been fed.
The elevation has to be just perfect for his head.
So he scratches up the comforter and makes a fluffy bed.
If only my dog could talk.

Short Chorus:
I’d ask my dog why he lays like a frog.
If only my dog could talk. If only my dog could talk.
