Fred |
I have a dog, and his name is Fred |
Poor old feller, he’d be better off dead |
Than to live his life with me; |
Me being one old flea |
Fred used to scratch his back and side |
Poor old feller, I would run and hide |
I’d drink me a big old beer |
And wait till the coast was clear |
I know I sound like a mean old rat |
But I’m just a flea, you know I can’t help that |
We’re a perfect team, a pretty good match; |
I provide the itch and he replies with the scratch |
Scratch, Fred, roll on the ground |
Scratch, Fred, it makes a musical sound: |
Chicka chicka chicka chicka chhhh! |
Chicka chicka chicka chicka chhhh! |
Fred won shows, he was a big success |
So I was living at the best address |
Life was a pleasure for me; |
He made me a high-class flea |
Fred won ribbons and loving cups- |
He outclassed all of them other pups |
But as soon as we were back in the yard |
I’d nip that rascal hard |
I know I sound like a mean old rat |
But I’m just a flea, you know I can’t help that |
We’re a perfect team, a pretty good match; |
I provide the itch and he replies with the scratch |
Scratch, Fred, roll on the ground |
Scratch, Fred, it makes a musical sound: |
Chicka chicka chicka chicka chhhh! |
Chicka chicka chicka chicka chhhh! |
Well, Fred got older and he quit the shows- |
Makes you wonder where the glory goes |
Now we lie in the noonday sun |
And think of the stuff we’ve won |
Fred gets sleepy when the sun gets hot |
So we take a little snooze until the day is shot |
And if I want to go in at night |
I give him a little bite |
I take it easy, 'cause he’s old and fat |
But I’m still a flea, you know I can’t help that |
We’re a perfect team, a pretty good match; |
I provide the itch and he replies with the scratch |
Scratch, Fred, roll on the ground |
Scratch, Fred, it makes a musical sound: |
Chicka chicka chicka chicka chhhh! |
Chicka chicka chicka chicka chhhh! |
Chicka chicka chicka chicka chhhh! |
Chicka chicka chicka chicka chhh |
