The Monkeys

This morning when I greeted Patch and the puppies and gave them breakfast, their joyous abandon reminded me of the Monkees singing group (circa 1966). It was a group fabricated for a TV show about a band of goofy, fun-loving musicians. Their theme song is perfect for our own band of monkeys:

Here we come
Walking down the street
We get the funniest looks from
Everyone we meet.

Hey hey we're the Monkees
And people say we monkey around
But we're too busy singing
To put anybody down

We go wherever we want to
Do what we like to do
We don't have time to get restless
There's always something new

Hey hey we're the Monkees
And people say we monkey around
But we're too busy singing
To put anybody down

And so on...

9 Dogs Howling
(Sung to the tune of the Monkeys song)

Here we come
Padding through the door
We are 9 Dogs a'howling
Can't you hear us roar?

Hey,hey we're the doggies
We're the cutest doggies around
And when we're not busy napping
We try to tear the hous down!

We do what ever we want to
Mr. P. can't even control
And Mom's not able to catch us
But she still thinks that she runs the show!

Hey, hey we're the doggies
We're the "baddest" doggies in town
We eat shoes and tear up the t.p.
And our parents still keep us around.

Hey, hey we're the doggies...
(Fade to howling)

Your version is so much better than the original!

"But she still thinks she runs the show"! Ain't that the truth!
