(Jack Russell Terrier) Dig It Up
You think you've got my number,
You don't know Jack
Stand back I'm going under
Clear out you dirty little rats
Dig it up, dig it up, dig it up
I love to dig the dirt
Dig it up, dig it up, dig it up
I'm gonna rock your earth
Move your body from side to side
Oh honey just let it slide
Move your body with all you got
We Jacks are red hot!
Jack Russell that's the name
Holy terrier
She's Jill and she' s my dame
Runnin' with the Harriers
Dig it up .......... chorus
Get back, get back you dirty little rats
Get back, clear the track cause here comes Jack
Smooth coat or wired hair
What do you need
We can ride to any dare
From zero to warp speed
Dig it up.......chorus

Japanese Chin
Welcome into our palace, leave all your cares behind
May we present the Empress, to her we're so divine
We have an ancient history from China to Japan
We play with pretty Geishas and cheer on Sumo man.
Jump up, you've got to raise your paws now
Come on let us show you how
It's not hard to do a little spin
Everybody dance with the Japanese Chin
We have but one desire to see you laugh and smile
So bring your paws together and dance with us in style
We walk like cats on tables, we don't disturb a thing
We sit in highest places, opera we love to sing
Jump up .......
We're loved by aristocrats
We curl up and warm their laps
It's not hard to do a little spin
Everybody dance with the Japanese Chin
We strut about so lively, plumbed tail above our back
So bright and independent, red & white, white & black
We have but one desire to see you laugh and smile
So bring your paws together and dance with us in style
Jump up .....

Keeshond
We are known across the Netherlands
As the Smiling Dutchmen
The mascot of the Patriots
The common people sure loved us
In our blood the Sammy's found,
Poms, Chows, and Elkhounds
A compact dog with Arctic Spitz
We do a little dance and it goes like this
Klompen with our wooden clogs
Watch our little cat like paws
Clap your hands and fill the streets
Join the party, one, two, three
(Roll down that river, join the fun
We deliver, we're Keeshonden)
Long ago Wolfspitz were we
Frolicking in Germany
Friendly, loving - full of fun
In Holland we became Keeshond
Our double coat is thick and straight
Tips of black that top the grey
A pompous tail above our back
We're happiest when in a pack
Chorus
On the barge or riverboat
Along the Rhine we do float
Our foxy face shines like the sun
You can't help loving Keeshonden
Around the world we bring Holland
Share the Smiling Dutchmen
When tulips bloom in Keukenhof
They all salute the Dutch Barge Dog
Chorus

(Kerry Blue) You're So Blue
You're so blue, Kerry Blue, I love you, I always will
Everything that you do, you've made my dreams come true -
Kerry Blue, without you, what would I do - I'd be so blue
You're the smile in the dark, you're the love in my heart
Kerry Blue
High upon a hill top, standing oer the sea
Running cross the meadow you come back to me
Blossoms in the springtime, summer's in the air
Wherever there it blue sky, I will find you there
You're so blue, Kerry Blue, I love you, I always will
Everything that you do, You've made my dreams come true
Kerry Blue
High upon a hilltop, standing oer the sea
Running cross the meadow you come back to me
Blossoms in the springtime, summer's in the air
Wherever there is blue sky, I will find you there
You're so blue, Kerry Blue, I love you, I always will
Everything that you do, you've made my dreams come true -

(We Stand Like a Rock) Kuvasz
Come gather 'round children curl up at my side
I'll tell you a story of days long gone by.
The song of the Kuvasz is sad and is sweet
Through darkness of wars to here at your feet.
I'll tell you of struggles and turbulent times,
From the peaks of Tibet to Carpathian skies,
It's all in my blood, it's all in my heart,
There's nothing dear children could tear us apart.
This is my song, we stand like a rock
Faithful and strong, we are Kuvaszok
God leads us on cause we stand like a rock
This is our song, we are Kuvaszok
I once had a king and I pledged him my life -
(The reason Matthias could sleep through the night).
We hunted big game and I ran by his steed
I watched over him and he watched oer my breed
Centuries went by, our courage renowned,
We guarded the herds where the wolves would abound.
The white of our coat would shine in the dark
And even the bear would flee when we barked.
chorus
Long we survived through rich history
When great wars brought ruin throughout Hungary.
At the end of the battles our numbers were few,
We fell with our people and all that we knew.
But listen now children curl up at my side
As long as there's love we all will survive,
The song of the Kuvasz is sad and is sweet
Through darkness of wars to here at your feet.

Lhasa Apso (Get Set Tibet)
You can tell me a million times
To do it your way, but you can't change my mind
Get set Tibet, let's go,
I'm a Lhasa Apso.
I'm a friend of the Dalai Lama
I'm a friend of the top banana
I will guard you through thick or fog
Cause I'm the lion sentinel dog -
You can try to make me heel
But you can't change the way that I feel
Get set Tibet, let's go,
I'm a Lhasa Apso.
I don't need much cause I'm so independent
But when I need love, I will let you be my friend,
And don't you know that
You can call my name all day
Take me for a walk but I will run away, yeah,
Get set, Tibet, let's go,
I'm a Lhasa Apso.
It may seem that I don't think about you
But I'm just in a dream you know and I'm
Dreaming about you -
You can call my name all day,
Take me for a walk but I will run away, yeah,
Get set, Tibet, let's go,
I'm a Lhasa Apso.
I will warn you when there are strangers
When I sense that there is danger
You might fool the sleeping Mastiff
But I will warn you I'm working on the night shift -
You can tell me a million times
To do it your way but you won't change my mind
Get set, Tibet, let's go,
I'm a Lhasa Apso

(Lakeland Terrier) Rats!
Rats! - nah nah nah nah nah nah give me rats
Give me squirrels and foxes and bats
I love to chase down those little brats
Give me rats!
I love to run with the Harrier
I am the Lakeland Terrier
Rats! nah, nah, nah.......I love rats!
Nothing's too high, I can't get over it
Too low, I can't get under it
Too wide, I can't get around it
Too long so I can't get down it
Rats! And while we're talkin' 'bout my tail
I'm tired of being called the little Airedale
Do I have to prove my merit in ferrets and rats!
I'm very strong when push comes to shove (I'm the Lakeland Terrier)
I guard my home with conviction and love
Nobody has courage like me
I'll run for days to protect my sheep
And when the sun sets in the west I'm the best
Nobody is daring-er, I am the Lakeland Terrier
Rats! nah, nah, ........I love rats!
Nothin's too high so I can't get over it
Too low so I can't get under it
Too wide so I can't get around it
Too long so I can't get down it -
Rats! nah, nah, nah.....give me rats
Give me squirrels and foxes and bats
I love to chase down those little brats
Give me rats!
I'm the Lakeland Terrier, give me rats!

(Maltese) Little White Dog
When I was lonely I got myself a dog
I filled my house with the sound of little paws
Now I'm so happy I found someone to love, because
My little Maltese, yeah, she's my squeeze
From Rome to Reno she's my bambino
Cruisin' the streets with my Maltese
My little white dog -
Didn't want a big dog, I just wanted small
One look at her and my heart took a fall
I tucked her in my arms and took her home, you know
She's my little Maltese, yeah she's my squeeze
From Rome to Reno she's my bambino
Cruisin' the streets with my Maltese
My little white dog -
Well I'm tellin' you she' so sweet she charms every stranger she meets
With her hair brushed to the ground and bows that hold her tresses down
Some say she's sweeter than a dove's kiss
The gentle maiden is such a gorgeous miss
Of all the gems she is the most precious
She's my little Maltese, yeah she's my squeeze,
From Rome to Reno she's my bambino
Cruisin' the streets with my Maltese
My little white dog

(Norwegian Elkhound) Hey Ho, Circle Low
I have been companion to the Viking on the sea
And guardian of the lonely farm against its enemies
I've always been a working dog devoted to the chase
I've always had a purpose it's written in my face
Hey ho, circle low the game is in the round
Follow the call of the Norwegian Elkhound
(hey ho, circle low, catch the elk and don't let go
Hey ho round and round I am Norwegian Elkhound)
I can burn the midnight hour day after day
I stand alert, defend my herd I keep the wolves away
I love to wander with my man against the Arctic skies
And when he's blind to danger I can be his eyes
Hey ho, circle low, the game is in the round
Follow the call of the Norwegian Elkhound
(hey ho, circle low, catch the elk and don't let go
Hey ho, round and round, I am Norwegian Elkhound)
I left home from Oslo and I traveled round the earth
Wherever I am needed I can prove my worth
I told you of my working life and of my nordic traits
But oh there is a gentle side that lives to win your praise
At night when there's a full moon bright I'll rest against your feet
And listen to the stories of the Viking families
Hey ho, circle low, the game is in the round
Follow the call of the Norwegian Elkhound
(Hey ho, circle low, catch the elk and don't let go
Follow the call of the Norwegian Elkhound)

Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever
In Nova Scotia I was born and raised
Down where the little river duck dogs play
A wee gun dog from the great big sea
And none can draw a crowd like me
I've lived for years in the maritimes
I swim and bob in the salty brine
With my foxy face and white web feet
I dance for ducks to my own heartbeat
I'm a Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Dog
I lure and I toll and retrieve
I love my people and I love my job
Fiddle diddle diddle dee - (look at me)
I play on the shore with sticks and twigs
Like a happy sailor lost in a jig
But swim too close, little coot you're stuck
Cause curiosity killed the duck
Up from the blind the hunter stands
A loaded shotgun in his hands
And when the fowl drops from the sky
I bring it home with the fish and the fry
Chorus
Hey ho, here we go
Play on the shoreline to and fro
Hoist the sails my hearty boys
I'm proud to be Nova Scotia's joy
I'm Canadian, red and white
My feathered tail wags in my flight
Strong and balanced, keen to work
I spring to action, always alert
And I crossed from Yarmouth to Bar Harbor
I took my games below the border
Now through the world in kennel clubs
I've joined the ranks of the pedigree mugs
Chorus
(Old English Sheepdog)
I drive the cattle, I drive the sheep
No wolf is ever gonna sneak one by me
I am a herding dog in fields of clover
Some call me shaggy but I prefer drover
Sheeeeeeeep - Old English Sheepdog - cattle drivin'
The way I see the world is the way I walk
Preoccupied cause I'm always taking stock
Excuse my panting I'm not out of breath
Like a fool on a hill I love to reflect
Sheeeeeeeep - Old English Sheepdog - cattle drivin'
I shuffle like a bear, I gallop and I amble
I find the wanderers caught up in the brambles
You see I'm very rich in canine history
My resume is signed by Walter Disney
I'm beatle-esque from my head to my toes
And if you paint it black Ringo has my nose
Sheeeeeeeep - Old English
I dream of heaths and dales back in England
I'm loved for my bobtail, I'm free from the taxman
Sheeeeeeeep - Old English Sheepdog

(Papillon) Butterfly
Butterfly, fly up high, for all the world to see
You sang and danced right through Renaissance and now you play for me
You light up all that's dark, come to my lap and into my heart
Butterfly, fly up high for all the world to see
For centuries back in Italy how they loved their Papillon
They crossed through Spain and they entertained
Everywhere that butterfly roamed
Small and sweet, Spaniel Petite, my little Papillon
Dear Phalene drawn to my dreams with folded silky wings
My Spaniel toy how you fly with joy and you help my spirit sing
So elegant and precious sent by the angels to enrich us
Dear Phalene drawn to my dreams on folded silky wings
Butterfly, you fly up high, my little Papillon

Pekingese
Peki-ekingese in the lap of luxury
Sleeping in the palace of kings.
Through the dynasties, the little dog Chinese,
Sleeping in the palace of kings.
Bring him gold and jewels, the lion dog rules,
Let the golden sun shine.
He will stand his ground, never back down,
A dog of disciplined mind -
Peki-ekinese in the emperor's sleeve,
Gaze upon the city walls.
As long as you're with me, the Imperial Family,
Our strength will conquer all.
Bring him gold and jewels, the lion dog rules,
Address him with dignity.
With an air of elegance he takes the royal stance
Ruling from sea to sea -
Peki-ekingese in the emperor's sleeve
Sitting in the golden throne
If our kingdom falls, if they tear down the walls
I'll take your life with my own.
He is oriental, to me he is essential,
He will always stand by me.
No other is so regal, proud as an eagle
He will rule through eternity
Bring him gold and jewels, the lion dog rules
Let the golden sun shine.
He will stand his ground, never back down,
A dog of disciplined mind -
Peki-ekingese in the lap of luxury
Sitting in the palace of kings
Through the dynasties, the little dog Chinese,
Sitting in the palace of kings.
Sitting in the palace of kings.

She's been around for centuries
the story's often told
Into hieroglyphics and history
The writing's on the wall
And as she gazes on the prowl
The desert winds begin to howl
With eyes that follow you for miles
She's the queen of the Nile
Oh, when she flies, she trembles and sighs
And we're lost in the dust as we bathe in her blush
All the world falls hushed
He's been companion to the kings
He's loyal and true blue
Those golden rings and those pretty things
Were kept within his view
He sailed across the open sea
And soon became Malta's breed
But through her eyes he sees for miles
The queen of the nile
Oh when she flies, he trembles and sighs
And he's lost in the dust as he bathes in her blush
All the world falls hushed
Their elegance and noble stance
Will turn your head around
Their glossy coat and chiseled heads
Define the Pharaoh Hound
The guardian of ancient gods
Who came from Egypt's wandering dogs
And through her eyes you see for miles
The queen of the Nile
Oh when she flies, she trembles and sighs
And we're lost in her blush as we bathe in her blush
All the world falls hushed
She's been around for centuries,
She's been around awhile
Into hieroglyphics and history,
She's the queen of the Nile

There goes my life in an Allied Van
I'm leavin' London and that pit bull ban
It's just me and my dog sneaking through the streets
Like some criminals we're runnin' from the heat.
Hey Mr. Councilman I do understand
These dogs are trouble when they're in the wrong hands
But we pay the price, we who treat them well,
And the press keeps buildin' up this pit bull hell.
My dog's majestic, strong and so proud
He's been to school and stood out in the crowd
He's my companion and so beautiful
He can't help it he was born a pit bull -
I found my dog runnin' in the streets
He was so grateful just to find some peace
He makes me laugh, yeah, makes me smile
Can make a bad day seem worth while
Chorus
There goes my life in an Allied Van
I'm leavin' London and that pit bull ban
Just me and my dog, my dog and me
We'll keep on drivin' til the air is free.
(Ontario Canada passed the Pit Bull ban (and any dog that looked like it had Pit Bull in it) in 2005.
Nancy and Joey chose to leave.)

(Pointer) Pointing At Me
I've got a dog from a good bloodline
Foxhound, Greyhound some of the design
Covers the earth as fast as the wind
Stops on a dime and then the game begins.
Points at a pheasant and bobwhite quail
Sends vibrations through his bee sting tail
Yeah I got a dog as sweet as can be
Follow the Pointer cause he leads to me
I've got a dog with her head in the clouds
A muscular body and she's always so proud
She's got the power and she's got the grace
Long silky ears and a pretty dish face
She's got a coat so shiny and sleek
She's the emblem of the Kennel club elite
I've got a dog as sweet as can be
Follow the Pointer cause she's pointing at me
I've got a dog true to her breed
The only POW in history -
I've got a dog with a strong hard drive
Deep in spirit and keen of the eye
He stops the hunt in a motionless stance
Points at the bushes where the wee fowl dance
Early in the morning he's rarin' to go
Late at night he's just a couch potato
I've got a dog that's oh so sweet
Follow the Pointer cause he leads to me
Follow the Pointer cause she leads to me.

Pom, pom, get a pom, get a spitz and sing along,
Get a Pomeranian.
People always say to me, "Where is Pomerania?"
I tell them that is where they shrink dogs down with a mania.
Everybody says he's small,
I tell them he herds sheep two feet tall -
Pom, pom, get a pom - get a spitz and sing along.
If you wanna have some fun, get a Pomeranian.
Pom, pom, get a pom, get a spitz and sing along,
Get a Pomeranian.
People always say to me, "Does your doggy dance?"
I tell them he has entertained from Ireland to France.
He always gets the eye in town,
Standing there so proud and round -
Pom, pom, get a pom - get a spitz and sing along,
If you wanna have some fun, get Pomeranian.
Pom, pom, get a pom, get a spitz and sing along,
Get a Pomeranian.
People always say to me, "Does your doggy play?"
Oh yes, He's full of beans and he won't go away.
If you need some company
He is always there to please -
Pom, pom, get a pom - get a spitz and sing along,
If you wanna have some fun - get a Pomeranian.
Pom, pom, get a pom, get a spitz and sing along,
Get a Pomeranian.

The Portuguese Water Dog
In Portugal I sail the coast
One of the crew in the fisherman's boat
I drive the fish into the nets
And dive for those I cannot catch
Yes I was born to ride the seas
It's been my job through history
The swimmer with the strong webbed feet
A Portuguese Water Dog
I play and dance, to and fro
I'll sing to you the fado
Like all of my amigos I'm
A Portuguese Water Dog
I belong to the sea
Tho some would say it belongs to me
And I would ride the highest wave
To be with you and keep you safe -
I will watch over the boats
Through any storm in my weatherproof coat
I'll hold the nets to keep them afloat I'm
A Portuguese Water Dog
I play and dance, to and fro
I'll sing to you the Fado
Like all of my amigos
The Portuguese Water Dog
But one day I was left behind
With new machines to haul the lines
I sailed the world with a broken heart
Til I was called to the old ball park -
Beyond the Bay Front Stadium
Back in a boat and prepped to swim
Hit 'em high, my Giant friends
To this Portuguese Water Dog -
Oh, take me out to the ball game
The scoreboard shows you my name
Someday I'll be in the hall of fame
I'm the Portuguese Water Dog
I play and dance to and fro
I'll sing to you the fado
Hello from San Francisco- I'm
The Portuguese Water Dog

There's Something That's So Smug About A Pug
There's something that's so smug about a Pug.
They're just as cute as a bug in a rug.
When they smile they give my heart a great big tug.
She came here from China, left the monks behind her.
By royalty she was adored, like Josephine and William of Orange,
One look at that sweet face I gave my heart, I gave it away -
There's something that's so smug about a Pug.
They're just as cute as a bug in a rug.
When they smile they give my heart a great big tug.
She's well groomed and ready to go - just you watch that little dog show.
Curls her tail on her back, my heart flutters with a Pug attack -
There's something that's so smug about a Pug.
They're just as cute as a bug in a rug.
When they smile they give my heart a great big tug.
Do the Pug!
I don't have a mansion but I've got lots of room,
I needed a dog to fill the space, something small and like a loon.
I'm so glad that she is mine now we're together all the time.
It's the nature of the dog to wiggle at the sight of a tog.
So much love for a pat my heart flutters with a Pug attack.
There's something that's so smug about a Pug.
They're just as cute as a bug in a rug.
When they smile they give my heart a great big tug.

Labrador Retriever
Look at yourself, running about,
A tail like an otter and you swim like a trout.
Except for eating you would never come to shore
Now I ask you, aint that just like a Labrador.
I think you must have sticks for brains,
You'll wait for days, standing in the rain.
Just on the chance I'll throw that thing again,
I think you must have, I think you must have
Sticks for brains.
You could be working as a "seeing eye"
Or running messages across the enemy line.
You could be dragging fishing nets back to shore
But you just love sticks, oh my Labrador.
Chorus
When you sit and stare at me,
That perfect face so strong and sweet,
How could I ever turn you away?
I grow to love you more every day.
Look what you've got me doing for you,
I give you everything cause your love is true.
I know you'll always be waiting at my door
With a brand new pile of sticks, that's my Labrador.
Chorus

Musical Tails 1st Litter
(Mastiff) Mass Of Love, Joy and Pride
I do not get nervous cause I know I am safe
And darkness won't bring trouble creepin' round my gate
But I used to get worried that I could lose my hide
But I don't think anybody's gonna give it a try
Cause when I'm steppin' out with my Mastiff by my side
She's a mass of love, joy and pride
Now my dog's not so vicious as to tear you limb from limb
But she will make a prowler wish he'd never broken in
Cause there will be no warning as she pins him to the ground
And I don't think anybody's gonna mess around
Cause when I'm steppin' out and my Mastiff's by my side
She's a mass of love, joy and pride.
My dog loves everybody she can't help herself
When she's feeling good she just loves to share the wealth
And I know I'm the lucky one to have a friend so wise
I don't think anybody's gonna criticize
But when I'm steppin' out and my Mastiff's by my side
She's a mass of love, joy and pride.
