I thought play was something just for hairy tails;
Meant for some dog-else, but not for me;
And cats were out to get me, that's the way it seems,
Chasin' things, it haunts all my dreams.

And then they said "go fetch"
'Cuz I'm a retriever,
Gotta go catch,
Time after time.

I'm a dog...(woooooof)
Yes, I'm a retriever
I couldn't leave it if I tried.

Fetch is just a game, you know, of getting things,
The more I got, the more they threw, oh yeah.
What's the use of whining,
You'll never get your fame,
When I was a puppy I got trained...

Now I sniff their butts,
'Cuz I'm a retriever,
A golden like King Tut.
Commands in my mind,

I'm a dog (wooooof)
Yes, I'm a retriever, ya gotta believe yeah,
Fleas on the side.
