Watchin' television one afternoon 
Lookin' for a movie or a good cartoon 
Stopped by a station's commercial break 
When suddenly I'm faced with a heartache 
The woman of my dreams is plain in view 
Sellin' me a can of liver stew 

I said dog food (dog food) 
Dog food woman 
Dog food (dog food) 
Dog food woman 
Dog food (dog food) 
Dog food woman 
Dog food (dog food) 
Dog food woman 
You steal my heart, and you take my soul 
Every time I see you fill Fido's bowl 

Now I watch TV 20 hours a day 
Just to watch your commercials play 
If someday your love was in reach 
I'd be all yours honey, you could put me on a leash 
You love that dog, could you love a man? 
I make my own gravy when you show that can 

I said dog food (dog food) 
Dog food woman 
Dog food (dog food) 
Dog food woman 
Dog food (dog food) 
Dog food woman 
Dog food (dog food) 
Dog food woman 
You steal my heart, and you take my soul 
Every time I see you fill Fido's bowl 

I figure the only way she'll notice me 
Is if I buy what she's sellin' on TV 
So I stop at the local shopping mall 
Head to the pet store and buy it all 
Go to the bank and empty my savings 
So I can buy more of what Spot is craving 

Spent all my money by accident 
Can't buy groceries or pay the rent 
Got evicted now I live on the street 
Crunchy kibble's all I got to eat 
My breath is real bad, my tongue's turning black 
But I've got a nice shiny coat of hair on my back 

I said dog food (dog food) 
Dog food woman 
Dog food (dog food) 
Dog food woman 
Dog food (dog food) 
Dog food woman 
Dog food (dog food) 
Dog food woman 
You steal my heart, and you take my soul 
Every time I see you fill Fido's bowl 

(Dogs barking and howling) 
Yeah, take it for a walk! 

I said dog food (dog food) 
Dog food woman 
Dog food (dog food) 
Dog food woman 
Dog food (dog food) 
Dog food woman 
Dog food (dog food) 
Dog food woman 
You steal my heart, and you take my soul 
Every time I see you fill Fido's bowl
