When I Come Back (I Wanna Be My Dog)
(written by Craig Wiseman and Al Anderson)
If I could come back as anyone I know
I wouldn't be the Pope or a Rolling Stone
I wouldn't be an astronaut walkin' on air
I wouldn't even want to be a billionaire
I know a guy that's got it pretty good
He's the smoothest operator in the neighborhood
He eats like a pig and he sleeps like a log
So, when I come back I wanna be my dog
(Chorus)
No job, no bills, no worries, no income tax
Just lay around all day
Chase a little cute stray
Man, I want to live like that
While I'm making do with the beans agains
He's got his choice of chicken, liver, beef or ham
He's the luckiest thing that ever walked on paws
So when I come back I wanna be my dog
(Repeat chorus)
Well, he hates to take a bath and he's got bad breath
Still everybody just loves him to death
No matter what he does he can do no wrong
So, when I come back I wanna be my dog
(Repeat chorus)
He's the luckiest thing that ever walked on paws
So when I come back I wanna be my dog
