My buddy’s name is Franklin

Buddy, buddy
He’s my little buddy
He is my buddy, he is my buddy!
My buddy’s name is is Franklin

My buddy’s name is Franklin and he is a little pug
When I brought him home he pooped on my floor and pee’d on my rug
He cries for attention and on his leash he tugs
But that’s ok cuz at the end of the day he is the pug I love

(His name’s Franklin)

Puppy Blues

Why’d you have to vomit on the bed?
Why’d you have to vomit on the bed?
It’s not that I’m unlucky, it’s because you are a puppy
But why’d you have to vomit on the bed?

Why’d you’d poop all over Elena’s floor?
Why’d you’d poop all over Elena’s floor?
We were her gracious guests then you went and made a mess
Why’d you’d poop all over Elena’s floor?

Why’d you have to pee in Higgins’ bed?
Why’d you have to pee in Higgins’ bed?
I thought he was your buddy—I guess he got unlucky
Why’d you have to pee in Higgins’ bed?

Why’d you have to pee in my bed?
Why’d you have to pee in my bed?
They say it’s to protect me from predators, that’s what I read
But why’d you have to pee in my bed?

They say these puppy blues won’t last forever
But lord, you drive me insane
You know I’d do it all again
I know you’re just a little puppy
But oh, I can’t help but complain
I will watch over you from here ’til the end
You know I’d keep this up forever

You know this all will sound familiar But lord, you drive me insane
You know I’d keep this up forever
Oh boy you’re just the cutest puppy
But oh, I try not to complain
You are my little Franklin here to the end

Why’d you have to be the cutest pug
Why’d you have to be the cutest pug
You are my buddy
You’re the pug I love
Why’d you have to be the cutest pug

A Pug's Ariette

When it’s work time for me then it’s nap time for you You always seem like you know what to do
You run to your crate and I close the gate
And on your Bully Stick(tm) you do chew

I’m just a little pug
Freedom is what I’m dreaming of
Stuck in this crate, there’s no hope for escape
I am a little baby pug

When it’s work time for me then it’s nap time for you
You always seem like you know what to do
But now you’re grown up, you’re no longer a pup
And you are free to do what you want to do

Stinky Pug Butt

Who has a stinky pug butt?

I know who has a stinky pug butt
“We all know who has a stinky pug butt”
Franklin has a stinky pug butt
Franklin has a stinky, a very stinky butt

Late at night I am jolted awake by a smell in my nose
Coming from a stinky pug butt
He lifts up his leg to defecate and then I am faced
With cleaning up a stinky pug butt
And when we go out we always get kicked off the bus and the train
Because he has a stinky pug butt

Franklin is my little pug
He has got a stinky butt
But he doesn’t care and his tail is just wagging
He he doesn’t care because he’s too busy playing
With all the other dogs

And they all love his stinky pug butt!

Franklin’s got a stinky, a very stinky butt!

He’s got a stinky pug butt!
