So, Long Doggies Lyrics - Rhinoceros Tap - Sandra Boynton

So long and farewell to my puppydog friends 

We've had some good times, but here's where it ends 

I don't wanna chase rabbits, and I don't want to play 

I just came here to tell you that I"m going away 

We've been running in circles. Enough is enough. 

Staying around is just ruff, ruff, ruff 

So long, doggies -- doggies, goodbye. 

I'm going away, and I'm telling you why: 

I'm tired of barking up the wrong, wrong tree. 

I've got places to go, and places to see 

And that's why 

I'm saying so long, doggies, goodbye 

Oh, why do you hound dogs just howl at the moon? 

I'm leaving today, and I'm changing my tune 

I'm looking for something, I don't know what, 

So starting today, I'm a traveling mutt 

I've got to move on, for it's sad but it's true 

I'm six years old, but I feel forty-two 

Oh, So long, doggies -- doggies, goodbye 

I'm going away, and I'm telling you why: 

I'm tired of barking up the wrong, wrong tree 

I've got places to go, and places to see 

and that's why 

I'm saying so long, doggies, goodbye 

Ah, you can't have respect for a dog that begs 

A dog needs to stand on its own four legs 

I'm not looking for someone to throw me a bone 

I'm my own dog now, I can make it alone 

Well, I'm leaving my collar. I'm leaving my tags 

I'm bringing a dream and a tail that wags 

My heart is warm and my nose is still cold 

I want to get around before I grow too old 

I'm taking my leave, and I'm showing you how: 

When you make an exit, take a bow wow wow 

Oh, so long, doggies -- doggies, goodbye 

I'm going away, and I'm telling you why: 

I'm tired of barking up the wrong, wrong tree 

I've got places to go, and places to see. 

I'm a lone dog rover, and I have to run free 

I'm my own dog rover. I belong to me. 

No more digging through cans. I've got bigger plans 

No garbage. Bone voyage 

So long. Dog gone.
