I Lost My Dog

I lost my dog, he was a good dog
Floppy ears and crooked tail
No, he didn't know very much
Steaks and bones and such
Brown and white and might be kind of shy
He was a good dog

I miss my dog, he was a good dog
Answers to the name of Bill
Well, the man down at the pound
Said they'd have a look around
Buy you know somehow, I don't believe they'll try
He was a good dog

Is it silly?
Am I wrong to want him back where he belongs?
Should a girl my age be strong
Enough to know that it's only a dog?
Only a dog

I lost my dog, he was a good dog
If you see him passing by, just pat him on his head
See that he gets fed
Sit him down and call me on the phone
May not seem like much to you
You don't love him like I do
He was a good dog
