Perfect Family Dog

We want a perfect family dog for Christmas

Only a perfect family dog will do

I don't want legos

No Vera Bradley purse

We want a perfect family dog to fetch with and enjoy

We want a perfect family dog for Christmas

We don't think Christopher will mind, do you

Dad won't have do

The chores.

Just give it to the kids

That's the easy thing to do

I can see me now on Christmas morning

Creeping down the stairs

Oh a joy and what surprise

When we open up our eyes

To see a doggy hero standing there

We want a perfect family dog for Christmas

Only a perfect family dog will do

We don't want a crab

No Guiana pigs

We only like doggies

And doggies like me too

Dad says a dog would be too much work but then

Mom says we can do the chores

There's lots of room for him

In our empty backyard

I'd feed him there

And wash him there

And give him his massage

I can see me now on Christmas morning

Creeping down the stairs

Oh a joy and what surprise

When we open up our eyes

To see a doggy hero standing there

We want a perfect family dog for Christmas

Only a perfect family dog will do

I don't want a camera

No stocking stuffers

We only like doggies

And doggies like me too
