Pig
I have a dog and his name is Pig,
He eats so much that his tummy jigs,
His ears flip-flop, and his tail wig-wags,
And when he walks he goes zig zag.
Flip-flop, wig-wag, zig-zag.
Flip-flop, wig-wag, zig-zag.

Wiener dog, wiener dog, turn around,
Wiener dog, wiener dog, touch the ground.

Wiener dog, wiener dog, drink from the pail.
Wiener dog, wiener dog, sit and beg.
Wiener dog, wiener dog, hold up one leg.
Wiener dog, wiener dog, take a walk
Wiener dog, wiener dog, try to talk.
Wiener dog, wiener dog, try to lick
Wiener dog, wiener dog, fetch the stick.

Wiener dog, wiener dog, look for bears.
Wiener dog, wiener dog, turn off the light.
Wiener dog, wiener dog, say goodnight.
The Paws on the Dog
(Tune: “Wheels on the Bus”)
The paws on the dog go trot, trot, trot,
Trot, trot, trot, trot, trot, trot,
The paws on the dog go trot, trot, trot,
All through the town.
The ears on the dog go flop, flop, flop...
The nose on the dog goes sniff, sniff, sniff...
The tongue on the dog goes lick, lick, lick...
The bark on the dog goes woof, woof, woof...
The tail on the dog goes wag, wag, wag...
