[Chorus]
Back in May 1st, 2010
Became one of the greatest days
An entire decade she stays
So very lazy she has been
Only brought joy and laughter since
The greatest dog she truly is
Everyone smiles when she's their biz
Nothing has replaced Ella since

[Verse 1]
Light and small enough to hold in just one hand
Surrounded all over with black and blond fur
Used to run as fast as rabbits over land
If there's snow or water she'll go then come back brrr

[Chorus]
Back in May 1st, 2010
Became one of the greatest days
An entire decade she stays
So very lazy she has been
Only brought joy and laughter since
The greatest dog she truly is
Everyone smiles when she's their biz
Nothing has replaced Ella since

[Verse 2]
Laying in her house all day not getting up
She'll only get up to bark at squirrels and birds
When someone walks through the door she'll wag her tail
Been trying to steal people's food since a pup
Slowly sneak to plate then take bite like with bird
Only killed one in her life, bird took a fail
Always barking at strangers when they walk by
Even people we know to stop and say hi
Might start randomly barking and won't know why
Run and bark when people jokingly say help
Same thing when she sees another dog or whelp
Intentional or not, she will eat dropped food
Ears pop up when she hears treat, that gets her mood
Only tricks she knows are sit, stand up, shake hands
She'll attack bubble wrap and shake her head fast
I'll pop bubble then watch and laugh as I stand (ha ha ha)
She'll stick her head out car windows, see what's past
[Chorus]
Back in May 1st, 2010
Became one of the greatest days
An entire decade she stays
So very lazy she has been
Only brought joy and laughter since
The greatest dog she truly is
Everyone smiles when she's their biz
Nothing has replaced Ella since

[Bridge]
After Ella, no dog will bring as much joy as her
For my whole life, I will always be thinking of her
If I get a new dog I'll still smile and laugh a lot
But not as much deep down in my heart what Ella got
