My Dog Loves Your Dog

by Cliff Edwards

on I Can't Give You Anything But Love (2019), Singin' In The Rain (1999)

Pardon me, but if I may, I would like to speak to you
Maybe you have noticed too:
Our dogs have learned to care
You can see it in their eyes
You can hear it in their sighs
Winchell* mentioned it today
They are very much that way

My dog loves your dog, and your dog loves my dog
If our doggies love each other, why can't we?
My dog's a he-dog
And your dog's a she-dog
I wish you loved me the way that he loves she
Don't they look sweet
Ev'ry time they meet
Beneath their favorite tree?
My big Airedale
Wags his little tail
To tell your terrier
He's crazy to marry 'er
My dog loves your dog, and your dog loves my dog
If our doggies love each other why can't we?

Your dog loves my dog and my dog loves your dog
If our doggies love each other, why can't we?
All night he's whinin'
Because he keeps pinin'
To be with her the way I'd like to be with you
I take him out
And he runs about
To see if she is in sight
By his nose he knows
Ev'ry place she goes
He calls to her: "Bow-wow-wow
I love you, and how-wow-wow!"
My dog loves your dog, and your dog loves my dog
If our doggies love each other, why can't we?

Your dog (panting sounds); my dog (whining sounds)
If our doggies love each other, why can't we?
Look how she pets him
And look how she lets him
Play around the way I'd like to play with you
Chows and Pekingese
Who have pedigrees
Are crazy over my hound
But your little mutt's
Simply got him nuts
And he'd gladly give 'er
His last piece of liver
'Cause my dog loves your dog; your dog loves my dog
If our doggies love each other, why can't we?
