Little Yaller Dog 1919

May I speak to you a minute,
if you're sure I don't intrude,
and may I ask a favour,
If it isn't very rude?
There's something that I'm wanting
that I don't know how toget
Something I can call
a really truly kind of pet,
I want a little doggie
I want him such a lot,
a jolly little doggie,
like the other girls I've got!

If anybody's got a little yeller dog
without a pedigree,
Quickly as you're able
buy a box and buy a label
and express him through the post to me.
If anybody's got a little yeller dog
without a family
remember that I'm lonely,
so please send a little dog,
a ducky little dog
a littler yeller dog to me.

Of course I've got a kitten,
but you know what kittens are!
They will not let you love 'em
'cos they're so particular,
They'll lie upon the hearthrug
and they'll purr upon your knee,
but they are not half as friendly
as a little dog would be,
And then they won't stay home at night
and sleep, beside my bed,
But go out singing carols
with the other cats instead.

If anybody's got a little yeller dog
without a pedigree,
Quickly as you're able
buy a box and buy a label
and express him through the post to me.
If anybody's got a little yeller dog
without a family
remember that I'm lonely,
so please send a little dog,
a ducky little dog
a littler yeller dog to me.

Once I had a rabbit
but we ate him, poor old thing!
And once I had a tortoise,
but he's not come up this Spring!
Once I had a hedgehog
and I thought him rather sweet,
but I couldn't take him walking
when I went out in the street,
He hadn't got a tail to wag,
and what was almost worse,
he'd got such horrid prickles
he was dreadful hard to nurse.

If anybody's got a little yeller dog
without a pedigree,
Quickly as you're able
buy a box and buy a label
and express him through the post to me.
If anybody's got a little yeller dog
without a family
remember that I'm lonely,
so please send a little dog,
a ducky little dog
a littler yeller dog to me.

If anybody's got a little yeller dog
without a pedigree,
Quickly as you're able
buy a box and buy a label
and express him through the post to me.
If anybody's got a little yeller dog
without a family
remember that I'm lonely,
so please send a little dog,
a ducky little dog
a littler yeller dog to me.
