lyrics

Throw the stick and then go, dog, go, watch me as I chase it
Do some laps for me, run, boy, run, over and over
Wind me up and then spin, top, spin, stop I'm getting dizzy
Say the word and then crack the whip, you are the master

She says, "Please I need your help"
I'm already busy myself
But if I'm up all night then oh well
Throw shoes on, out the door, of course I'll help you

Wait right here for me, stay, boy, stay, I won't move a muscle
Stretch me out and then wrap me up, how I love your finger
Bait your hook and then cast your line, I will race to bite it
Pierce my cheek and then pull me in, smile as I'm bleeding

She says, "I'm hangin' with friends"
"I'll let you know when it ends"
So I don't make any plans
2:30, go to bed, I guess she forgot

Throw the stick and then go, dog, go, watch me as I chase it
Do some laps for me, run, boy, run, over and over
Wind me up and then spin, top, spin, stop I'm getting dizzy
Say the word and then crack the whip, you are the master
