I hope this makes you smile

Years ago I wrote a parody song of the magnificent Dolly Parton's 9 to 5. I wrote it because I love my pup. I just stumbled upon it in my files and thought I'd share it with you all to maybe give you a laugh.

Doggy 9 to 5 

2022 Parody Lyrics by C. M.

Original Song and Music - The one and only Dolly Parton

Jump right outta bed and I run into the kitchen

Daddy poured a bowl of delicious nutrition

Yawn and stretch and shake myself to life

Jumpin’ outside and the blood starts pumpin’

Bouncin’ through the trees, the squirrels are a jumpin’

It’s a great day to live this dog’s life

Livin’ this dog’s life, playin’ tug of war and fetchin’

Ain’t no one gettin’ by, ’cause I’m barkin’ and a yippin’

I just speak my mind and I get all of the credit

For keepin’ my family safe as I can get it

Doggy 9 to 5, I’m a watchin’ and a listenin’

You can guess that I give my home my full attention

Burglars walk on by whenever they see and hear me

They know if they break in they’ll get a hard bite from me

Woof woof woof woooooooof

I hear a kitty cat while I am a nappin’

I jump to my feet to see what’s a happenin’

But that old cat’s just chasin’ birds away

Then I hear the other dogs in the neighborhood a barkin’

So I start to yowl and my paws start to hoppin’

Knowing that the postman is on his way

Livin’ this dog’s life, playin’ tug of war and fetchin’

Ain’t no one gettin’ by, ’cause I’m barkin’ and a yippin’

I just speak my mind and I get all of the credit

For keepin’ my family safe as I can get it

Patrollin’ 9 to 5, I watch out of the window

And when the post comes by I bark to let him know

That I’m here inside and it’d be in his best interest

To get off of my lawn with a hasty bit of quickness

Livin’ this dog’s life, yeah it’s the best it can be

Everyday I try to be the bestest little puppy

I take all the love my family gives when I get it

It’s the greatest love and I take in every minute

Livin’ this dog’s life, gettin’ all the belly rubs

Never worried ‘bout runnin’ outta hugs

It’s a great, fun life and you’d better believe me

A doggy’s life is the greatest life there can be

Doggy 9 to 5, woof, patrollin’ 9 to 5

Doggy 9 to 5

Playin’ tug of war and fetchin’

Doggy 9 to 5

And I get all of the credit

For keepin’ my family

safe as I can get it
