Do you beg on the doorstep when you're hungry as sin?
Can a puppy just hope there's a way to get in?

I'm lost-and no home-and it's raining today-
Oh, why should a puppy get treated this way?

I guess I'm a mongrel with no fancy tag-
Should I bark or look mournful or let my tail  wag?

Shhhh!  Someone is coming-it looks like a boy!
Does HE need a puppy?-I'd be such a joy!

I'm so hungry!-He knows it...He's gone for some chow...
Will his mom let him feed me?-I'll pray harder now...

He feeds me! He pets me!-Could I stay just a while?
Could I play just an hour?-He's starting to smile...

There's his mom!-She sees me!  He grabs me up tight!
Then she smiles...and pets me...maybe,  just for tonight...

Now, what shall he call me?  Oh, who will I be?
A home and a name...what a great day for me!

Tomorrow?-Who knows what my Fate will contrive...?
But tonight...I'm the happiest puppy...alive...
