Below you’ll find two short and simple songs about dogs (41 seconds long).
The first version is “I’m a Dog.”
I’m a dog
And I eat bones.
I live in people’s homes.
I like to chase the neighborhood cats.
I don’t like to take baths.
I’m a dog. Woof! Woof!
The second version is “He’s a dog.” Since I now live in a Muslim country where dogs don’t live in houses, I changed it a bit.
He’s a dog
And he eats meat.
He lives out on the street.
He likes to chase the neighborhood cats.
He doesn’t like to take baths.
He’s a dog. Woof! Woof!
