I'm long and low with a body so sleek
Built for the hunt yeah I'm unique
In burrows and tunnels I make my mark
Chasing down badgers I'm tough not a lark!
Who's got the courage the bark the charm?
It's the dachshund bringing no harm
Smooth long or wiry I've got the style
With a wagging tail and a toothy smile
From Germany's woods I made my way
"Dachs" means badger in the fields I'd stay
Mini or standard we're small but bold
With hearts of gold and stories untold
Who's got the courage the bark the charm?
It's the dachshund bringing no harm
Smooth long or wiry I've got the style
With a wagging tail and a toothy smile
Black and tan or a dappled hue
A brindle coat or a red-hot view
Floppy ears keep the dirt at bay
And a curved tail shines in the grass all day
Playful and loyal but stubborn it's true
Training me takes patience-it's worth it too
My spine is long so don't let me leap
But give me your heart and I'll keep it deep
Who's got the courage the bark the charm?
It's the dachshund bringing no harm
Smooth long or wiry I've got the style
With a wagging tail and a toothy smile
So here's to the dachshund the best by far
A little body with a soul like a star
From wiener to sausage we own the throne
A dog so unique in a class of our own
