Mom and Dad
Can't you see we're sad?
Pining away for a canine
Woe is me
Oh, the misery
We'd like a dog, we lack a dog
Alas! Alack-a-dee!

Desperate
Desperate for a dog
We're just desperate for a dog
(Give us a puppy)
Not a gerbil or a frog
We're just desperate for a dog
(Give us a pooch)

A kid's best friend
To romp and frisk and bark
Lick your nose, shed on your clothes
Chase a Frisbee in the park

We're desperate
Despеrate for a dog
We're just dеsperate for a dog

We've asked you politely
For a year or two
You always say, "We'll see about it."
Then you never do
Our friends all have got dogs
How do you think we feel?
What's the big deal?
A collie or a Dalmatian
A poodle or an Alsatian
Maltese, Pekingese
Please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please!

Desperate
Desperate for a dog
We're just desperate for a dog
(We're begging!)
Keep your hamster and your hog
We're just desperate for a dog

It's no big thing
Any mutt will do
Let's trot to the pound, pick out a hound
Find a shoe for him to chew

We're desperate
Desperate for a dog
We're just desperate for a dog

Why not?
But we told you, we'll take care of him!

All right, that's it, we've had it!
We won't accept defeat
The time has come to march
Let's take it to the streets
Unfair! Unfair!
Kids deserve a puppy there!

Desperate
Desperate for a dog
We're just desperate for a dog
Desperate
Desperate for a dog
We're just desperate for a dog
(Kids deserve a puppy there!)

To guard us as we jog
Guide us through the fog
Wait for us, faithfully
Outside our church or synagogue

We're desperate
Desperate for a dog
We're just desperate for a dog
We're just desperate for a
Puppy, puppy, puppy, puppy
Puppy, puppy, puppy, puppy
We're just desperate for a dog
