[Verse 1: Neil Tennant]
I want a dog, a chihuahua
When I get back to my small flat
I want to hear somebody bark
Oh, you can get lonely

[Verse 2: Neil Tennant]
Don't want a cat
Scratching its claws all over my habitat
Giving no love and getting fat
Oh, you can get lonely
And a cat's no help with that

[Interlude]

[Bridge: Chris Lowe]
"Bulldog, hound and pug, and Labrador
Collie, retriever and Doberman pincher
Husky, dalmatian, Saint Bernard und dachshund
Mongrel, beagle, Cocker spaniel"

[Verse 3: Neil Tennant]
I want a dog to walk in the park
When it gets dark my dog will bark at any passers-by
Oh, you can get lonely
I want a dog
[Interlude]

[Verse 4: Neil Tennant]
I want a dog, a chihuahua
When I get back to my small flat
I want to hear somebody bark
Oh, you can get lonely
