Schnauzer sea shanty

I had the unexpected opportunity to go on a dogathon. At least it was unexpected by me. My own intention for the day was to take a nice stroll to the park and then home for a nap on the couch.

However, Mum had other plans. The dogathon, in case you are wondering, and I know you are, is a long walk for dogs. It was near the sea. The only thing I saw was lots of rain and salty flavoured mist that kept blowing into my beard. It came from this hu-mong-ous puddle. I mean, this was the biggest puddle you ever saw. If I told you you could sail a ship across it, you wouldn't believe me but it's true.

So I was inspired to put together a little schnauzer sea shanty for you. Tune up, it goes like this:


Why would I want to walk when there’s showers
Why would I want to walk when there’s showers
Why would I want to walk when there’s showers
I’ll only get my paws wet,

Hooray you’ve put my coat on
Hooray you’ve put my coat on
Hooray you’ve put my coat on
Now I feel like a daft one

What’s wrong with you can’t you see it’s raining
What’s wrong with you can’t you see it’s raining
What’s wrong with you can’t you see it’s raining
This is awful weather

Hooray you’ve put my coat on
Hooray you’ve put my coat on
Hooray you’ve put my coat on
Now I feel like a daft one

How could you do it coz I’m a good boy
How could you do it coz I’m a good boy
How could you do it coz I’m a good boy
You shouldn’t put the dog out

  3. Isaac, that is a fan-tas-tic shanty for a Schnauzer, we don't like going out in the wet do we? We've got coats, well actually they're black waterproof fleeces but they do our street cred no good at all! Dex & Lou x

  4. I believe you Isaac, I've seen puddles like that. I like to jump in them and get all muddy, it's what Spaniels do
