Lyrics
I was lying in my bed on a quiet night.

I went down to the kitchen to get myself a bite.

I turned on the light and I opened the door.

But I tripped and I knocked a big old pot on the floor.

I heard my dog bark.

I heard my dog bark.

I heard my dog bark.

Standing in the dark I heard my dog bark.

Well, the barking was so loud it woke up my cat.

I bet you can guess what I heard after that.

I heard my cat meow.

I heard my cat meow.

I heard my cat meow.

And standing in the dark I heard my dog bark.

Well, this barking and meowing made my ears say "ouch!".

It woke up my pet horse who sleeps on the couch.

I heard my horse neigh.

I heard my horse neigh.

I heard my cat meow.

And standing in the dark I heard my dog bark.

Well, the noise was so loud that it hurt my head.

It woke up my pet lion who sleeps on my bed.

I heard my lion roar.

I heard my lion roar.

I heard my horse neigh.

I heard my cat meow.

And standing in the dark I heard my dog bark.

It was the loudest noise that ever there was.

It woke up my pet bumblebee and he began to buzz.

I heard my bee buzz.

I heard my bee buzz.

I heard my lion roar.

I heard my horse neigh.

I heard my cat meow.

And standing in the dark I heard my dog bark.

Well, all my pets ran around the house.

Soon it was quiet. As quiet as a mouse.

But then my pet mouse slipped out of his drawer.

And he tripped and knocked down a big old pot on the floor.

I heard my dog bark.

I heard my dog bark.

I heard my dog bark.

Standing in the dark I heard my dog bark.

I heard my dog bark.

I heard my dog bark.

I heard my dog bark.
