Gonna Buy Me A Dog
by Tommy Boyce & Bobby Hart
*M - Micky, D - Davy
M: You know my girl just called me up,
And she woke me from my sleep,

You should have heard the things she said,
You know she hurt my feelings deep.

I'm gonna buy me a dog.

D: A dog?
?: A Dog!
D: Why?
?: Why?

M: 'Cause I need a friend now,
D: Babe, you need all the friends you can get, I'm telling you.

M: 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!
D: It was already ruined before it was wrote!
M: Uh, where's the verse?...

She used to bring me my, my newspaper,

Here it is...
D: You don't even know where it's at.

M: '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.

M: 'Cause I need a friend now,

D: I need a friend now...
M: Now!
D: Yeah!

M: I'm gonna buy me a dog,

D: A dog. Here, Rover, Fido, Spot...
?: A dog. Here boy!

M: My girl, my girl, don't love me no how.

D: Four-Six-Eight-Nine
M- 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-Hike!
D: Hike?
M: Hike!
D: I was late on that one...
M: Oh, yeah...
D: I just got back from Africa, y'know?
I was playing cards with the natives...
M: Oh! Zulus?
D: No, I usually won, ha-ha
M: Gee...I wish I had a glass of water...
D: Why, are you thirsty?
M: No, I want to see if my neck leaks.
I'd buy a raccoon, but John already has one.
D: 35 bucks!
M: Where...where do I come in?
?:Get ready..
Get ready..Ah!

I'm gonna buy me a dog,

D: dog
M: A dog...Hmmm...
D: Yeah...

M: 'Cause I need a friend now,

D: Yeah-yeah
M: Yeah, boop-boop, sh-bop-bop, ram-a-lam

I'm gonna buy me a dog,

?: Try the next verse again...
M: What?

My girl, my girl don't love me no how.

How
D: Now brown cow...
M: 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.
D: Would it...would it be dog?
M:It would be dog...
D: Definatly Dog...
M: It would come springing from my lips...dog...
D: Springing from...let's get out of here, c'mon...

D: Is that it, Tommy? Can  you turn it off please?
