Gonna Buy Me A Dog
by Tommy Boyce & Bobby Hart
You know my girl just called me up,
And she woke me from my sleep,

You should...
You should have heard the things she said,
You know she hurt my feelings deep.
I'm gonna buy me a dog
A dog?
A dog!
Why?
Why?
'Cause I need a friend now,
Babe, you need all the friends you can get, I'm telling you
I'm gonna buy me a dog,
My girl, my girl, don't love me no how.
Don't ruin my song, man, it's the only song I have!
It was already ruined before it was wrote!
Uh, where's the verse?...
She used to bring me my, my newspaper,
Here it is...
You don't even know where it's at
'Cause she knew where it was at,
She used to keep me so contented,
But, I can teach a dog to do that.
I'm gonna buy me a dog,
D: You couldn't teach a dog to do that, you can only train elephants.
'Cause I need a friend, now,
I need a friend, now...
Now!
Yeah!
I'm gonna buy me a dog,
A dog. Here, Rover, Fido, Spot...
A dog. Here boy!
My girl, my girl, don't love me no how.

1-2-3-4-5-6-7-Hike!
Hike?
Hike!
I was late on that one...
Oh, yeah...
I just got back from Africa, y'know?
I was playing cards with the natives...
Oh! Zulus?
No, I usually won, ha-ha
Gee...I wish I had a glass of water...
Why, are you thirsty?
No, I want to see if my neck leaks...
I'd buy a raccoon, but, John already has one...
35 bucks!
Where...where do I come in?
Get ready...
Get ready...Ah!
I'm gonna buy me a dog,
Dog...
A dog...Hmmm...
Yeah...
'Cause I need a friend, now,
Yeah-yeah
Yeah, boop-boop, sh-bop-bop, ram-a-lam
I'm gonna buy me a dog,
Try the next verse again...
What?
My girl, my girl don't love me no how.
How
Now brown cow...
How now, brown cow...I think I'm gonna buy me a dog, yessir!
I'm gonna buy me a dog!
If I was looking for a word to describe what I'm gonna buy,
I think dog would be the word.
Would it...would it be dog?
It would be dog..
Definitely dog...
It would come springing from my lips...dog...
Springing from...let's get out of here, c'mon...
Boing! Boing! Boing! It would be springing from my..
Is that it, Tommy? Can you turn it off, please?
Can someone open the door and let us out?
They're coming to take us away, ha-ha, hee-hee, ho-ho...
fade out...
