What do I do when I'm out in the yard
And can't find where I buried my bone
How do I feel when my dog's life is hard
I feel sad but I'm not all alone

Oh I get by with a little yelp from my friends
Oh I get by with a little woof from my friends
Yes I get by with a bow-wow from my friends

Boy I get mad when I get in a fight
With an itchy old flea and I lose
And what do I do when I'm still not alright
Even after I chew on some shoes


Oh I get by with a little yelp from my friends
Oh I get by with a little woof from my friends
Yes I get by with a bow-wow from my friends

(When you're sad we're behind ya)
Oooooh, where can that bone be?
(When you're mad we'll confide ya)
I can't believe I lost to a flea!

What do you do when you're sad or afraid
Or you're lonely or angry or down
Can't fetch a stick 'cause your owner's away
And there ain't no dog yummies around
Oh I get by with a little yelp from my friends
Oh I get by with a little woof from my friends
Yes I get by with a bow-wow from my friends

Aroooo, aroooo, aroooo!
