DON’T LET THE DOG DIG

Potus dug a hole in the back yard

Potus did exactly what he's not supposed to do

Potus dug a hole, no he had no self-control

Now he's in trouble, and I'm in trouble, too

See, my daddy said...

  

Don't let the dog dig!

Don't let the dog dig!

Don't let the dog dig!

No, you don't let a good dog dig

Potus was a present for my birthday

He was only eight weeks old the day that I turned five

Dad said promise just one thing

It shouldn't be too hard

Please don’t let that puppy wreck our yard

My daddy said...

chorus

Now dirt is flying all around

My dog is somewhere underground

My daddy's green and perfect lawn

is mostly hole and mostly gone

Mom comes to the windowsill

looking mad but mostly ill

She turns a yellow shade of red

and says just what my daddy said...

chorus

Dad will be home any minute

Deep deep trouble we're both in it

Before the problem can get worse

I throw Potus in reverse

I place him on that pile of dirt

His tiny paws are fast at work

throwing dirt, the hole fills up

I tell mom, "Don't stop that pup!"

Please! Let the dog dig

Please! Let the dog dig

He's digging backwards don't you see

The hole is filling rapidly...

Potus dug a hole in our backyard

Potus filled it up just before my dad got home

The ground was flat but there was no grass

(Digging backwards didn't help that)

I was hoping Daddy wouldn't notice

It's a lucky thing that he loves Potus

(and me...)
