They're coming to choose a dog today
Let it be me, PLEASE let it be me!

I'll be so good in every way,
if they'd only choose me.
Please let it be me!
I've waited so long for a home of my own
With someone to love me,
no longer alone.
 
I must try to keep calm
and not show how I feel
or they'll think I'm too lively,
but it's hard to keep still.
With my heart beating madly
I wait patiently,
Then suddenly they're here,
and they're looking at me!

They smile at me and tickle my nose,
Then move to the next dog in the rows.

My moment has passed,
it was not to be.
Perhaps it was foolish
to think it was me.
 
But wait,
They're back,
they've entered the run!
They give me a cuddle
and say, "that's the one"!

Oh joy of joys,
they've chosen me
At long, long last,
it's going to be ME!!
