From the recording Paws Up (Dog People Anthem)

Lyrics

[INTRO – CROWD]
Paws up, paws up, woof woof
Paws up, paws up, woof woof
Whoa ahh uhh ahh ooh
Paws up, paws up

[VERSE 1]
Got fur on my jeans, kibble on the floor
Wet nose waiting by the front door
Neighbors all stare when we walk down the street
Every tail on the block keeps dancing to the beat

Chewed up shoes, yeah, we laugh it off
Dog hair snowin’ when we brush it off
If you ever loved a pup then you already know
That a little bark of joy is the best kind of show

[PRE-CHORUS]
When the beat drops, leashes off, hearts race
Every dog lover’s in the right place
From the backyard, couch, or the rescue home
Tonight this whole world is one big dog zone

[CHORUS]
Paws up, all my dog people
Let me hear you shout, “woof woof woof”
From the couch pups to the rescue heroes
This one’s for you
Hands up, hearts full, we’re equal
Every mix, every rescue star
Paws up, all my dog people
You’re already perfect as you are

[POST-CHORUS – CROWD CHANT]
Paws up, paws up, whoa ahh uhh ooh
Paws up, paws up, whoa ahh uhh ooh
We’re one big pack in this room
Paws up, paws up, woof

[VERSE 2]
Got pics on my phone from a hundred days
Mud on his paws, tongue out, sideways
Every little memory, every silly run
Turns a bad week back into fun

Got a tag on my keys from the one I miss
Say his name, feel a ghost-paw kiss
Every pup that we loved, every heart we fed
Still singing in the choir in our head

[PRE-CHORUS]
When the beat drops, leashes off, hearts race
Every dog lover’s in the right place
From the rainbow bridge to the city park
They’re lighting up the sky when we howl in the dark

[CHORUS]
Paws up, all my dog people
Let me hear you shout, “woof woof woof”
From the shy pups to the big old seniors
This one’s for you
Hands up, hearts full, we’re equal
Every tail, every little scar
Paws up, all my dog people
You’re already perfect as you are

[BRIDGE – CALL & RESPONSE]
[Lead:] If you ever had a dog that saved your life
[Crowd:] Paws up, paws up, whoa ahh ooh
[Lead:] If you ever cried on a rainy night
[Crowd:] Paws up, paws up, whoa ahh ooh
[Lead:] For the ones we lost running free above
[Crowd:] Paws up, paws up, whoa ahh ooh
[Lead:] We carry every name in this crowd of love
[Crowd:] Paws up, paws up, woof

[FINAL CHORUS]
Paws up, all my dog people
Let me hear you shout, “woof woof”
From the first bark to the last soft goodbye
This one’s for you
Hands up, hearts full, we’re equal
Every pup is a shooting star
Paws up, all my dog people
You’re forever perfect as you are

[OUTRO – BIG CROWD]
Paws up, paws up, woof
Paws up, paws up, woof
Paws up, paws up, woof woof
Paws up, paws up
Dog people
Paws up, paws up, woof
Dog people
Hugz 'N Pawz, we are one pack
