John Kenower - Puppy Song Lyrics

Hit by the worst kind of luck
Alone
Friendless and stuck
Found a dog and named him Chuck
A mutt
Limped into my truck
Drove a hundred miles on route 66
Broke down
We walked for a bit
Old timer loaned me four bucks
Got a burger
And split it with Chuck

I gotta feel lucky
I at least have a puppy
Some folks got nothing at all
I'm a fortunate fella
To be hangin' with a hella
Good friend who comes when I call
He aint' got no money
And he looks kinda funny
But we have ourselves a ball

Sun didn't shine today
Old Chuck
Couldn't wake up and play
Buried him on route 66
Headstone was a couple of sticks

I gotta feel lucky
I at least had a puppy
Some folks get nothing at all
I'm a fortunate fella
To have hung' with a hella
Good friend who came when I called
Didn't have no money
And he looked kinda funny
But we had ourselves a ball

Drinkin' to forget never fails
To fail
Ya wind up in jail
Sheriff said boy you look beat
Come on
Take a Walk down the street
Shelter needs volunteers
Little faces
Will bring you to tears

Well I gotta feel lucky
I got dozens of puppies
Cats, snakes and some birds
I'm a fortunate fella
To be hangin' with a hella
Good friends
I clean up their turds
Well I ain't got no money
But my future looks sunny
Just sing a long
If you know the words

I gotta feel lucky
I at least have a puppy
Some folks got nothing at all
I'm a fortunate fella
To be hangin' with a hella
Good friend who comes when I call
He aint' got no money
And he looks kinda funny
But we're having ourselves a ball
