His name is
Lucky, he was born to retrieve.
He'll catch whatever you toss,
he never wants you to leave.
He'll bring a tennis ball to
greet you at the door.
You might think he's just a dog,
but to him he's so much more
He's a squirrel hunter in
his heart and his mind
He's been inches away
about a thousand times
He sits patiently for hours
underneath that tree
Hoping one will come down
and end up in his teeth
In his dreams he's caught a million,
shaking him till they're dead
Which must be why he spends so
much time asleep in his bed
We know he'll never give up,
even in the snow
And he'll never let it get him down,
even though he's just too slow
That's why we call him
Happy
Go
It's true, he's a lucky dog,
he's really got it made.
He's the ruler of the backyard,
no work and all played.
He could easily lead the blind,
or be the best in show.
But if he could choose a job,
he'd be a squirrel hunting pro.
He's a squirrel hunter in
his heart and his mind
He's been inches away
about a thousand times
He sits patiently for hours
underneath that tree
Hoping one will come down
and end up in his teeth
In his dreams he's caught a million,
shaking them till they're dead
Must be why he spends so
much time asleep in his bed
We know he'll never give
up even in the snow
And he'll never let it get him down
Even though he's just too slow
That's why we call him
Happy
Go
And although it's sad
to think about
Someday his life will end
He'll be off to doggy heaven
and no longer my best friend
But I'd like to think he'll still be
happy long after he's deceased
With an extra burst of
Godspeed on squirrels
he'll forever feast
He's a squirrel hunter in
his heart and his mind
He's been inches away
about a thousand times
He sits patiently for hours
underneath that tree
Hoping one will come down
and end up in his teeth
In his dreams he's caught a million,
shaking them till they're dead
Which must be why he spends so
much time asleep in his bed
We know he'll never give up,
even in the snow
And he'll never let it get him down,
even though he's just too slow
That's why we call him
Happy
