Gonna Buy Me a Dog lyrics

[Intro: Micky Dolenz]
Now?
You know my girl⁠— Now?
Now?

[Verse 1: Micky Dolenz]
You know my girl just called me up
And she woke me from my sleep
You should have heard the things she said
You know she hurt my feelings deep

[Chorus: Micky Dolenz & Davy Jones]
I'm gonna buy me a dog
(A dog?)
A dog
(Why?)
Why?
'Cause I need a friend now
Babe, you need all the friends you can get. I'm tellin' ya
I'm gonna buy me a dog
My girl, my girl, no love me no how
Don't ruin my song, man. It's the only song I have
Well it's already ruined before it was wrote

[Chorus: Micky Dolenz & Davy Jones]
Uh, where's the verse? She used to bring me my
My newspapers
(You don't even know where it's at)
'Cause she knew where it was at
She used to keep me so contented
But I can teach a dog to do that!
[Chorus: Micky Dolenz & Davy Jones]
I'm gonna buy me a dog
You couldn't teach a dog to do that, you can only train elephants
'Cause I need a friend now
(I need a friend now)
Now
(Yeah)
I'm gonna buy me a dog
(A dog. Here, Rover, Fido, Spot)
My girl, my girl, no love me no how
One
Two
Three
(Four. Six. Eight. Nine) One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, hike!

[Bridge: Micky Dolenz, Davy Jones & Producer]
Hike!
Hike!
I was late on that one. I just got back from Africa, you know, I was playing cards with the natives
Oh, Zulus?
No, I usually won. Ah-ah
Gee, I wish I had a glass of water
Why, you thirsty?
No, I wanna see if my neck leaks
I'd buy a raccoon, but John already has one
35 bucks
Where do I come in?
Get ready
Get ready, uh
[Chorus: Micky Dolenz, Davy Jones & Producer]
I'm gonna buy me a dog (Dog!)
A dog, hmm (Yeah!)
'Cause I need a friend now (Yeah, yeah)
Yeah, boop-boop-sh-bop-bop ram-a-lama
I'm gonna buy me a dog
Try the next verse
When my girl
My girl don't love me no how
How
Now brown cow (How now brown cow)

[Outro: Micky Dolenz & Davy Jones]
I think I’m gonna buy me a dog. Yes sir, I’m gonna buy me a dog. If I was looking for a word to describe what I’m gonna buy, I think "dog" would be the word! (Would it... would it be "dog"?)
It would be "dog"
Definitely "dog"
It would come springing from my lips... "dog"!
Springing from—
Boing! Boing! Boing! (Let’s get out of here, come on)
It would be springing from my—
Is that it, Tommy? Can you turn it off, please? Can somebody open the door and let us out?
They’re coming to take us away, ha-ha, hee-hee, ha-ha
