We don't need no blackbirds to bye-bye
Or hooty owls to ask us who or why
Wallaby's and sheep need not apply
All we want are sleeping dogs that lie

Forgive us you ASPCA's
We're going though a most distressing phase
The Borzoi's, Boxers, even old dog Trey's
Are victims of our very latest craze

We're steppin' on the Spaniel, fallin' off a log
Syncopated and you'll be puttin' on the dog
No difference if it's pedigreed or a mutt, I know
It doesn't matter when you're doin' that strut - high-ho

Steppin' on the Spaniel - it's on the up and up
Syncopated and you'll be pouncin' on a pup
Close your eyes and give those guys a big smooch right now
As you're jumping' up and down and steppin' on the pooch
Bow-wow
