All the toys were laid out for the tree.
Except one for little ol' me.
Now I think that is a terrible shame,
Who in Heaven's name can I blame.

I sit in my doghouse like a good pup.
I am quiet as a mouse,
So no one has to tell me shut up.
I stand guard over the whole house.

Now I ask you what more can I do?
Don't I deserve some presents too??
Santa ,you have been the best friend I've known.
Won't you please give me a bone of my own?
