PUPPY SONGS

TOMMY HAD A LITTLE DOG
Tune: “Mary Had a Little Lamb”

Tommy had a little dog, little dog, little dog.
Tommy had a little dog, who was white as snow.

Everywhere that Tommy went, Tommy went, Tommy went,
Everywhere that Tommy went, the dog was sure to go.

He followed him to school one day, school one day, school one day,
He followed him to school one day, which was against the rule.

The puppy thought that it was fun, it was fun, it was fun,
The puppy thought that it was fun, to be at Tommy’s school.

The puppy got to stay that day, stay that day, stay that day.
It was “Pet’s at School Day”, so everything was cool!
Adapted traditional
