Da Best

It’s a Dog’s Life . . .

DOG: Sing me the song.

ME: No. You were not a good dog today.

DOG: Please. I want to hear the song.

ME: But that song is for good dogs only and you were not a good dog today.

DOG: If you sing me the song, I will be good.

ME: That’s what you always say, but you never are.

DOG: I promise that I will be good if you sing me the song.

ME: Fine. I will sing the song.

ME: [To the tune of Tina Turner’s “The Best”]

You’re simply da best

Better dan all da rest.

Better dan anyone

Better dan all of dem

And I love you da most

I’ll love you from coast to coast

Cuz you stolen my heart

And we’ll never part.

You’re simply da best.

DOG: Da best!

ME: Simply da best.

DOG: Da best!

ME: Simply da best!

DOG: [Loving sigh]

ME: [Smile]
