Old Rover once said to his frow —
Bow, wow!
We 've got too much family now —
Bow, wow!
So pick every pup
You would sooner give up
And we'll sell them at auction somehow —
Bow, wow!

There 's don with a musical bark —
Bow, wow!
And Fannie so fond of a lark —
Bow, wow!
With Towser at play,
Who sleeps all the day
But watches all night in the dark —
Bow, wow!

The twins that we can't tell apart —
Bow, wow!
And two so unlike from the start —
Bow, wow!
Bulldozer for running,
And Carlo for gunning,
And Bob for the little boy's cart —
Bow, wow!

There 's Tiger so homely and grave —
Bow, wow!
But never a dog was more brave —
Bow, wow!
With Tiny and Mix,
Who can do all the tricks,
And Spry who can buffet the wave —
Bow, wow!

Seeing tears in the eyes of his frow —
Bow, wow!
Said Rover: " We 'll not sell them now —
Bow, wow!
Although we have many,
We can't part with any;
We'll manage to keep them somehow —
