Oh you might say that I’m naïve,
How happy I’d rather be
If I were let loose on the streets
To roam around so free.
Refrain:
But I’m a dog,
Nena’s dog!
I stay at homeAnd I’m happy as I am
‘coz I take walks,
I get fed,
And I’m taken to the vet!
Repeat I.
Repeat Refrain.(Gap in the song. A chance for you to say something!)
Repeat Refrain.
And I’m taken to the vet!
