I know you're down and out
You don't even know how to spend a dime
All you know how to do
Is just whine and dine;
I wish you could understand,
That I'd gladly lend a helping hand,
Oh, if I could, little buddy, don't you know I really would?
Livin' in a small apartment,
My landlord don't allow no pets.
Little buddy, if I take you in my house,
You're surely gonna put me out.
Way in the middle of the night,
You come a-scratchin' around my door
Waking me up from a deep deep sleep,
Just to serve you a bite to eat.
You're just a happy little nobody's waggy tail dog,
Happy little nobody's waggy tail dog,
Don't have a home, just lookin' for a bone;
Everywhere I go, you're just tagging along.
Tagging along,
Tagging along.
Tagging along.
Turning on my outside lights,
There you stand, a-wagging your tail
I bust out soul, put something in your bowl,
Just as much as your belly can hold;
And it's all because of you,
I don't sleep like I used to do.
The alarm clock says it's time to get going,
But I just lie there snoring.
You're just a happy little nobody's waggy tail dog,
Happy little nobody's waggy tail dog,
Don't have a home, just lookin' for a bone;
Everywhere I go, you're just tagging along.
In the life you lived before,
You must have stayed with the king and queen,
But in this life today, I know,
You're the hungriest little dog I've seen;
Pretty soon, I'm gonna buy a home
Little buddy, I'm gonna take you in.
A place to lay your head,
And a yard where you can play in.
You're just a happy little nobody's waggy tail dog,
Happy little nobody's waggy tail dog,
Ain't got a home, always lookin' for a bone;
Everywhere I go, you're just tagging along.
Tagging along...
