If I could be a flower — I would be a “Forget Me Not” I’d sit nicely by your side — just licking my chops I’d be looking for a handout yet I would not ever beg And soon I would politely go — back to my bucket bed La La La La La — Dee Deet Dee Dee If I could be a dragon — I would have the name of “Puff” I’d throw away my old lime sweater — and other ugly stuff Id like to live by a beautiful sea — instead of on that farm Where accidentally, I got locked up — inside the pasture barn La La La La La — Dee Deet Dee Dee If I could be a grapefruit — I would be the largest kind I’d be all firm and rounded — with very little rind Id want to keep watch in the grove — near little Kolton’s place So I could keep the boogers away so he always would feel safe La La La La La — Dee Deet Dee Dee If I could be a vegetable Id probably be a beet I’d be so very charming — since I’m really very sweet I’d visit all the old folks — who live in nursing homes I know they’d pet my head off and I might even get a bone La La La La La — Dee Deet Dee Dee If I could be a human — I would change my name to Spike I’d buy myself a Harley be the coolest dude on a bike I’d let my pony tail blow — in the windy air But wait! I dont have one — as my back end is very bare La La La La La — Dee Deet Dee Dee But I am not a flower — nor dragon or grapefruit Or a dark red vegetable — or a biker with leather boots Just a rat terrier nicknamed Dewey — who’s pretty much content Since I never have to think about — paying any rent!! La La La La La — Dee Deet Dee Dee Yes, La La La La La — Dee Deet Hoo Hoo M. Clary November 21, 2003
