Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Woke up this mornin’, the sun was shinin’ bright,
Yeah I woke up this mornin’, the sun was shinin’ bright.
But my favorite squeaky toy—
It done lost its squeak last night.
[Verse 2]
Water bowl’s half-empty, and my kibble’s gone all stale,
Mm-hmm, water bowl’s half-empty, and my kibble’s gone all stale.
I been cryin’ to my human,
But they just checkin’ their email.
[Chorus]
I got the puppy blues, oh Lord, it’s true,
First pup problems, what’s a dog to do?
My heart is heavy, my tail hangin’ low,
When my chew toy’s broken, where else can I go?
[Verse 3]
Neighbor’s cat got tuna, but I got dry ol’ chow,
Oh that neighbor’s cat got tuna, but I got dry ol’ chow.
Life ain’t fair for a puppy,
I need some justice now.
[Bridge]
[Chorus]
I got the puppy blues, oh Lord, it’s true,
First pup problems, what’s a dog to do?
No one hears me cry, no one understands,
I need more belly rubs, and snacks from your hands.
[Outro]
So tonight I’ll keep on howlin’, sittin’ by the door,
Yeah tonight I’ll keep on howlin’, sittin’ by the door.
Til my toy squeaks again,
Or I can’t take it no more.
