DOG ODE
[words and music by Lorenzo Bertocchini]
SIAE 2018/Pongo Edizioni
At the end of the day, you greet me with your wagging tail
It makes me feel so good, makes me feel so swell
It’s just you and me, and that’s more than enough
You’re my best friend, my brother
Now, you look so human, though your feelings are real
I know you understand every thing I say or feel
You’d jump in the fire or in the freezing water for me
You’re my best friend, my brother
Well, it’s the same old toys, and you’re full of surprise
You sit by the dinner table with hope in your eyes
Sit up and slurp, stand up and drool, beg for cookies, pout pout
You’re my best friend, my brother
You give me love and devotion, friendship and company
Everybody calls you "dog" - that’s D.O.G.
But you’re a single trusting heart, the most perfect being definitely
And to tell you the truth, you’re more like a God - that’s G.O.D.
To me
Dirty pouts, ruffled hair and a cold damp nose
Ok, it’s true that sometimes you don’t smell like a rose
But you’re good to the bone, and to me that’s what counts
You’re my best friend, my brother
Chase a cat, fetch a toy, now go catch the ball
'Cause baby we were born to run, after all
Got your tongue hanging out - all right, time to take a break, I guess
You’re my best friend, my brother
You stick your head out the window, when we ride in the car
You like to go to the park, to the lake, to the bar
Never tired, never sad, always up for more
You’re my best friend, my brother
Now, sleeping in the bed or on the couch is what you love to do
Although, officially, you’re not allowed to
And once, when I was out, you chewed up my boot...
You’re still my best friend, my brother
You’re my best friend, my brother
You’re my best friend, my brother
