Ya see he's really friendly

Rover and I walked up to Mickey Mantle at the autograph fest
Of all the greats who ever played, I was sure I liked him... the best
I asked him if he'd sign my glove -- he said there was a fee
I guess he needs the money -- I thought it would be free
OK, I said I'll pay you sir, but I have just one request
Please inscribe your name right here on Rover's hairy chest

Sign my snarling doggy -- do it for me
Sign my snarling doggy -- or your knee is his tree
Look -- his tail is waggin'
Ya see he's really friendly
Sign my snarling doggy -- sign my snarling doggy

Rover has a lot of teeth in those grinning jaws
But he's had his shots and his nails are clipped
And we always observe -- the leash laws
He's really friendly with children, no... really
I've never seen him act this way before... down boy!
It must be you that makes him tense who makes him lunge and snap
Please sit there very still and let him drool into your lap

Sign my snarling doggy -- do it for me
Sign my snarling doggy -- or your knee is his tree
Look -- his tail is waggin'
Ya see he's really friendly
Sign my snarling doggy -- sign my snarling doggy

Hey Mr. Mantle:
How much would you charge to be taught to fetch
To roll over and play dead?
Maybe you just need a two by four
Laid upside your head?... 'cause Rover ain't been fed

When ya' walk to first walk softly, be careful with that stick
Keep it out of sight or Rover will do... his trick
Lay the bat down slow, don't act like you're gonna throw
Your pen's run dry -- here take my Bic -- cause Rover's ready to lick!

Sign my snarling doggy -- do it for me
Sign my snarling doggy -- or your knee is his tree
Look -- his tail is waggin'
Ya see he's really friendly
Sign my snarling doggy -- sign my snarling doggy
