Do the Dog

Do the Dog is a Sesame Street song about dancing by acting like a dog.

Lyrics
Well, I got a little dance to tell you about.

A dance to make you bark, not scream or shout.

You ask, "What kind of dance can it possibly be?".

I'll show you with the kids and old Barkley.

It's called the dog.

Woof woof! You get down on all fours and do the dog.

Woof woof, and scoot around on the floor.

And do the dog, woof woof!

Pretend your name is Rover.

And when you do the dog, you gotta, oh, roll over.

Now, pretend that you're a dog and you have fur.

But you're not a cat, so don't meow or purr.

Just sound like a doggie and you'll have fun.

You can bark, bark, bark, 'til the song is done.

Do the dog.

You can let out a growl and do the dog.

Woof woof! Now let me hear you howl.

And do the dog, woof woof!

The dance is no way to match.

Now pretend that you have fleas and scratch, scratch, scratch.

And if you're feeling tired, pooped is what you're getting,

And you're not in the mood for any playing or petting.

Just lay on down and before your eyes are shut,

Turn around three times like a great big mutt.

And do the dog!

Woof woof! Woof woof woof woof!

Do the dog!

Woof woof! Woof woof woof woof!

And do the dog!

Woof woof! Woof woof woof woof!

Woof woof woof woof woof woof woof woof!

Woof woof woof woof woof woof woof woof!
