[Intro] D [Verse]
                   A                G      D      A        D
If I was a dog I'd wag me tail, I'd sit me down beside the fire

                           A              G        D          A             D
And the girls could pat me on the back or anyplace else their heart would desire

                    A               D                  A
I wouldn't be after chasing cats, I wouldn't go baying at the moon

  D                      A                    G                 A      D
I wouldn't have time for things like that, if I was a dog, what I'd be doing
[Chorus]
   G      A      D               G       A
Oh-ho, oh-ho, if I was a dog I'd have me day

   G      A            D    A          D
Oh-ho, oh-ho, wouldn't I be wagging me tail
[Verse]
                   A                   G        D         A           D
If I was a dog I'd eat of the best and only the best that money could buy

                             A            G        D          A         D
I'd go down to the butcher's shop and I'd lick the leg of the butcher's wife

                 A                 D                   A
I'd be dining on filet mignons and pelican fingers and lobster fins

    D                  A              G                      A        D
And delicate frogs, if I was a dog, I wouldn't go rooting in nobody's bins
[Chorus]
   G      A      D               G       A
Oh-ho, oh-ho, if I was a dog I'd have me day

   G      A            D    A          D
Oh-ho, oh-ho, wouldn't I be wagging me tail
[Verse]
                    A                G           D     A       D
I wouldn't be after chasing sheep, I wouldn't be after hunting hares

                 A                   G         D       A         D
I'd prefer to be home in me sleep or digging a hole to god knows where

                    A                     D                       A
I wouldn't be after pulling the sled like huskies up in the Yukon do

D                A                     G                   A     D
I'd prefer to be home in me bed with a Pekinese, Poodle or Kerry Blue
[Chorus]
   G      A      D               G       A
Oh-ho, oh-ho, if I was a dog I'd have me day

   G      A            D    A          D
Oh-ho, oh-ho, wouldn't I be wagging me tail
[Verse]
                   A                  G        D       A      D
And woe betide the fool that tried to spay the wife or neuter me

                    A        G        D       A           D
Before I'd let him away with that, by god I'd show me pedigree

             A                   D                  A
I'd put up a hell of a fight and wouldn't that be a sight to see

     D             A             G                A    D
Just one strategic nip, the neuterer becoming the neuteree
[Chorus]
   G      A      D               G       A
Oh-ho, oh-ho, if I was a dog I'd have me day

   G      A            D    A          D
Oh-ho, oh-ho, wouldn't I be wagging me tail
[Verse]
                        A                   G         D           A      D
And sooner or later I'd father a litter and teach the little ones how to be

                            A                 G         D          A    D
If any of them tried to get smart, begod, I'd chase the lot of 'f#m up a tree

                      A                      D               A
So if you're walking along the street and an elegant dog you happen to see

D                     A             G                     A        D
Steppin' it out, give us shout, you could be you and that would be me
[Chorus]
   G      A      D               G       A
Oh-ho, oh-ho, if I was a dog I'd have me day

   G      A            D    A          D
Oh-ho, oh-ho, wouldn't I be wagging me tail
[Chorus]
            G      A      D               G       A
Singing, oh-ho, oh-ho, if I was a dog I'd have me day

   G      A            D    A          D
Oh-ho, oh-ho, wouldn't I be wagging me tail
