The title of this post was almost “Christmas carols, doggie style,” but then I thought better of it.
Anyway, I’ve been promising you some caroldies (a.k.a. carol parodies) for a few days now. It’s finally time to deliver.
There are already some great “12 Dogs of Christmas” songs out there, so I’m not tackling that one today. I do have a few others for you, however.
Grab a cup of cheer and prepare to learn a few new songs…
Barkin’ Around the Christmas Tree
Barkin’ around the Christmas tree,
because the cat has climbed on top.
She is dropping ornaments on me,
if I bark, perhaps she’ll stop.
Barkin’ around the Christmas tree,
I wish I had some springs.
If I did, I’d jump so high
that the cat would have to flee.
You will learn a fundamental lesson, when you hear
Doggies barking at your folly, as the cat climbs up the holly.
Barkin’ around the Christmas tree,
it’s an eventful holiday.
As the tree comes crashing down,
you’ll wish you had kept the cat away.
Sleigh Ride Revisited
Just hear those dog tags jingling, ring ting tingling too,
Come on it’s lovely weather for a long walk together with you.
Outside the smells are calling and dogs are sniffing them too,
Come on it’s lovely weather for a long walk together with you.
Bark and yap, bark and yap, bark and yap, let’s go,
I want to play in the snow.
Why won’t you just grab the leash so we can go?
Bark and yap, bark and yap, bark and yap, it’s grand,
When the leash is in hand.
I’m ready to bark at the park,
it’s a puppy dog fairyland.
Other dogs may get quite nosy, but comfy cozy are we.
We’re playing fetch together, keep throwing that stick for me.
Let’s take the path before us, and howl a chorus or two.
Come on it’s lovely weather for a long walk together with you.
There’s a dog park near the home of Mr. Gray,
It’ll be the perfect ending to a perfect day.
We’ll be playing the games we love to play, without a single stop,
At the dog park while we watch the puppies hop… hop, hop hop!
There’s a happy feeling nothing in the world can buy,
when your favorite puppy looks you right in the eye.
It’ll really be such a perfect day, of wags and jumps and dives,
This wonderful day will be one we’ll remember all through our lives!
If that’s not enough for you today, I suggest you swing by Something Wagging and start humming along with “Walking in a Neutered Wonderland.” (Update 12/24/14: full version available here.) However, you might want to use caution when singing that around your husband or other male friends.
Anyway, more caroldies to come later this week… stay tuned.
P.S. I take requests.

Licks,

Lol super cute! I've also almost accidentally said "doggie style" in complete innocence on many occasions but usually stop myself!
K9 Katastrophie – Thanks!
Stacy – I know… I typed it in and then realized I should probably change the title. =P
Very cute. LOL!
Those are great.
Me and the LOTH have been making up new Carols too – but your are better.
Love and licks, Winnie
Wonderful! I wish you lived closer so we could go caroling at the dog park. Your songs would be such a big hit!
I can't wait to see what you come up with next.
I am laughing so hard! There have been some fantastic caroldies going around this wee, and I've enjoyed them all! I feel that I should share this with you, forgive me if I already did. I have memory lapse issues related to puppy related exhaustion right now. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jCa1VfGEatg
Is there an "I Saw Puppies Kissing Santa Claws?"
Thanks, guys!
Pamela – We would totally be a hit at the dog park. 🙂
houndstooth – That video is too much!
Oh no, now chronic lyricosis has set in and Barking Around the Christmas will be in my head all night! Great songs!
BOL. Sleigh ride is my favorite carol, and now I like it even better doggie umm…er…uh…dogified.
You are "sleighing" me with these caroldies! Thanks for the laughs. 🙂
Dawn – Sorry about that! Hehe.
Peggy – LOL
Leslie – You're welcome! 🙂
