lyrics

I’m just a doggie on the 4th of July
I don’t wanna hide in my kennel and cry
But I feel for all the world
Like my back yard is a war zone

I’m just a doggie on the 4th of July
I wish my pyromaniac next-door neighbors would try
To keep it down some
And not make me worry about my home

How tough would it be
Just to eat some hot dogs and watch TV
And celebrate our history
With peace and quiet?

I’m not saying this out of feelings of spite
I’m glad you’re grilling out because I might get a bite
But I’m really quite afraid
You might send the alley into orbit

I’m a patriotic doggy on the Fourth of July
And I really love my country, but I cannot tell a lie
Blowing up pieces of it
Ain’t the way to tell your land you love it
