(I Get By With) A Little Yelp From My Friends
sung by Moe Cocker and Friends
to the tune of "(I Get By) With A Little Help From My Friends"
made popular by Joe Cocker, originally a Beatles tune
(background doggie singers in brackets)
What do I do when I'm out in the yard
And can't find where I buried my bone
How do I feel when my dog's life is hard
I feel sad but I'm not all alone
Oh I get by with a little yelp from my friends
Oh I get by with a little woof from my friends
Yes I get by with a bow-wow from my friends
Boy I get mad when I get in a fight
With an itchy old flea and I lose
And what do I do when I'm still not alright
Even after I chew on some shoes
Oh I get by with a little yelp from my friends
Oh I get by with a little woof from my friends
Yes I get by with a bow-wow from my friends
(When you're sad we're behind ya)
Oooooh, where can that bone be?
(When you're mad we'll confide ya)
I can't believe I lost to a flea!
What do you do when you're sad or afraid
Or you're lonely or angry or down
Can't fetch a stick 'cause your owner's away
And there ain't no dog yummies around
Oh I get by with a little yelp from my friends
Oh I get by with a little woof from my friends
Yes I get by with a bow-wow from my friends
Aroooo, aroooo, aroooo!
