Lyrics[]
When you see a dog
And a dog sees you
Neither you nor the dog
Knows exactly what to do
So you say "Hello dog"
He goes "Bow wow wow"
And then you both stand there
And think "Alright, what do we do know?"
In the language of dogs
"Bow wow wow" means "How are you today?"
And in the language of dogs
"Ruff ruff" means "Everything is a-okay"
And when a dog hears you say "Pooch, what's new?"
He understands what you said somehow
To him it translates perfectly into
"Bow wow wow"
Now when you hear a whimper
Comin' from a friendly little pup
That's his way of sayin'
"Yo brother, what's up?"
And when you tell a dog
To roll over and play dead
If he's not in the mood
He'll pretend not to know what you said
In the language of dogs
"Bow wow wow" means "How are you today?"
And in the language of dogs
"Ruff ruff" means "Everything is a-okay"
And when a dog hears you say "Pooch, what's new?"
He understands what you said somehow
To him it translates perfectly into
"Bow wow wow"
Yeah, now when a dog starts sniffin'
That means he's wonderin' if'n
You've got some food you'd like to share
But I bet you a dollar
That when you check his collar
His name, address, phone number, and all the 411 will be there
See what I mean?
When you hear a dog howlin'
And when you hear a dog growlin'
It means "Sheesh! Let me off my leash! Kapiche?"
In the language of dogs
"Bow wow wow" means "How are you today?"
And in the language of dogs
"Ruff ruff" means "Everything is a-okay"
And when a dog hears you say "Pooch, what's new?"
He understands what you said somehow
To him it translates perfectly into
"Bow wow wow"
