Lyrics

If seven dog years equals 1 year in human years
Then seven dog years is three-sixty-five of man days, yes that's clear
That means that one dog year is roughly fifty-two of our days
Twelve-hundred fifty-one point four hours in dog years give or take
1 dog day is three point four hours
That's twenty-four point four hours
Or 14-hundredths of an hour, ok
and that's 205 point 2 minutes a day...

So take a minute of your day today
To pet a dog 'cause for that dog
It goes a long long way

We make them walk a hundred-thousand miles without a pair of shoes
Then keep them tied up 'til they've lost their minds and don't know what to do
It just takes one dog bark to spark a chain reaction of more barks
Then spreads to neighborhoods throughout the town and all the streets and parks
They bark at me, I wonder what they want
It's clear to see, they need a little love

So take a minute of your day today
To pet a dog 'cause for that dog
It goes a long long way

There're brown and black and white and spotted pups
It doesn't matter always there for us
Some smooth and short haired some just fury balls
Some big and tall and some are cute and small
Either way we love them all

They gallivant around in search of spots to spread their scents and smells
And pepper front yards with their land minds so careful where you step
We dress them up in people clothes and then we say they're our best friends
There's Duke and Sophie, Honey, Maggie, Molly, and then...there's
And there's...your...there's your dog, so pet your dog today

So take a minute of your day today
To pet a dog 'cause for that dog
It goes a long long way

So take a minute of your day today
To pet a dog 'cause for that dog
It goes a long long way

So take a minute of your day today
To pet a dog 'cause for that dog
It goes a long long way
