Lyrics

Verse
Dogs don't ponder the deep things
They don't worry what their days may hold
They don't sweat the vet or the headlines, or fret about heaven or growin' old
They're content sleeping under the front porch, or out in the grass under the sun
They've got it all if they've got a ball, or some woods where they can run

Chorus
They’re man's best friend to the very end
A yawn and a stretch, and they're ready to fetch, and that's man's best friend

Verse
Dogs don't care about papers
They're not concerned about a pedigree
They're not bragging when their tongue's a-dragging, and that's all that really matters to me
Dogs will scratch wherever it itches; they're happy when you toss 'em a bone
They like to ride around with the window rolled down
Drink from the toilet if you'll leave 'em alone

Chorus
Man's best friend to the very end
A yawn and a stretch, and they're ready to fetch, and that's man's best friend

Verse
Dogs might hide from the weather, or snap if you get under their skin
They don't mean no harm with their tail wagging charm
They've got no concept of original sin
Dogs don't ponder the deep things; they don't worry ‘bout what their days may hold
They don't sweat the vet or the headlines, or fret about heaven or growing old

Chorus
Man's best friend to the very end
A yawn and a stretch, and they're ready to fetch, and that's man's best friend
Man's best friend to the very end
A yawn and a stretch, and they're ready to fetch, and that's man's best friend
Yeah, a yawn and a stretch, and they're ready to fetch, and that's man's best friend
